In May 2010, I went to a fundraiser for the earthquake victims in Haiti. My friend’s boyfriend was one of the organizers and as a friend, I bought $20 worth of raffle tickets. Well, 3 of those raffle tickets went on to win 2 bags of photography books and then the grand prize, this Nespresso Le Cube, milk frother, and an assortment of Nespresso coffee capsules and hot chocolate mixes.

I decided as a reward for when I had a new job, I would open it. Finally I got an offer and I opened the box!
