Hello, all! This is Cristina writing. I understand that our PO box has been returning checks. This is actually an error of the post office. They decided to give us the key before switching the box over into Tori's name, which explains why the mail has been returned to senders. We sincerely apologize for that and the post office has assured us that the issue has been rectified. We thank you for your patience while dealing with that. Checks can now be written and mailed to the same address, which is as follows:
Victoria Collins
P.O. Box 25
Sheridan, IN 46069

I would also like to touch on how treatments have been going with Tori. We are really loving the folks at the IU proton beam center. We have seen many, many young children sitting in the waiting room with us and it has really made us thankful that Tori has not had to battle this her whole life. The staff at the proton center is fantastic, I really love watching them interact with patients. They are so genuine and sincere. We really do feel cared for. They also have an awesome family resource center that offers free art therapy. We had one "lesson" and loved it. The center is also furnished for a place to rest and relax, as well as a full kitchen with many free resources. The center also offers tons of brochures and flyers about local sights and restaurants. We definitely have utilized this center and are very thankful for all the amenities. The center also holds a free professional photo-shoot for patients and their families, which Tori will be participating in, so keep updated for those photos!
Again I cannot thank all of you for your donations and sincere, kind words. We are all very touched by the kindness of family, friends, and anonymous benefactors. We are still fighting with the insurance company but we are slowly getting closer to securing coverage for Tori's treatment. I am also including a picture of Tori and her mom, Tracy, in this post so you all can see how Tori is doing. Thank you all again!
