VIRGINIA — Seventeen-year-old Erin Haerer knew there was something she had to do after undergoing reconstruction surgery in March for a torn ACL.
She needed to write a thank you letter.
Somewhere out there was a family to whom she felt deeply connected — in more than one way.
Haerer wanted that anonymous family to know that the loved one they grieved not only helped her by mending a painful high school basketball injury — but also helped to mend a bit of her heart that has been shattered many times during her young life.
The teenager wanted them to know how grateful she is for their loved one’s selfless gift.
