I have never been so grateful to a nurse; she was amazing.
Ashley Belknap worked the night shift last night. She saw and heard that I was struggling with my personal hygiene. She politely asked if I would like help brushing my hair. I said yes, and she spent about an hour and a half carefully putting conditioner in my hair and combing it out. She was so gentle and kind, and she even put my hair in a braid when she was done so it wouldn't get too tangled again. I have never been so grateful to a nurse; she was amazing. We talked about Disney and how cool it would be to work there, how fun the rides are, etc. Belknap was so comforting and truly showed me that there is hope and that great people do exist. She single-handedly made my entire year. No one has ever been so kind to me. I appreciate her kindness more than I can put into words or write. She is truly a wonderful human being.
