A few people want to say thank you for investing in them and their future:
"I am already feeling stronger every day and your help has given me the courage to move on with my new life." -Single mother and bus driver in Alpharetta, Georgia who was diagnosed with Lymphoblastic Leukemia and was running out sick days
"I am not eligible for help from any place because I work part-time to supplement my disability income. I have no family to help and my friends are struggling as much (or worse) than I am. I had begun to think about a payday loan which I know would have made things much worse over the long run. Again, thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in this difficult time. This may very well have prevented me and Ivory from becoming homeless." -Single woman whose therapy dog needed emergency surgery
"Without all you wonderful people, I could also possibly be awaiting foreclosure on my home, which is all I have at this point in time in my life and more chemo treatments a head of me, all having to paid in cash or no treatment. You are wonderful people who truly care for the human race and mankind." -Single woman laid off after cancer diagnosis, left with no income or insurance
"You have done your country, as well as your fellow man an immeasurable kindness. I cannot stress enough the amount of gratitude I have for you. I will now, thanks to you be able to serve OUR country and OUR fellow man much more successfully in the current struggles that we are battling." -Soldier who needed glasses and ballistic goggles
"With your generosity, we are now going to be able to store food, and have a cold drink. If you have ever experienced this loss, you know the frustration of not being able to prepare a nutritious meal. It is difficult to make many meals without eggs, milk, etc., so we had to be creative. We do not live close to a store, so frequent trips were not possible. Your generosity allows us to go to the store, buy refrigerated foods and rest assured that they will be safe to eat. I can give food to our sons and know that it is safe to eat. I can be assured that my insulin will be at the proper temperature, and will not have to discard bad medication. This act of yours assures my health to be regulated. Thank you life saver!" -Family in Westerville, Ohio who needed a working refrigerator
