My parents threw me out at sixteen after I lost my leg. Nineteen years later they wanted a million dollars for my sister — to hide why a 24 -year-old woman may never walk again.

I have read them more times than is sensible.

She wrote that she had read about the woman the foundation is named after. She wrote that she had read it twice.

And she wrote: someone with her story will understand what this is for.

She applied because of my name.

She sat at a kitchen table fifteen months after her accident and typed a sentence about trusting a stranger who had been through it — and the stranger was me, and I had never heard of her, and the woman reading the form was my sister.

There is one more document in that section and Arvo put it in deliberately. He told me so.

It is an internal note. Four lines, from Celestine to the foundation’s administrator, dated eleven days after Tamsin was approved.
