Thank you for making my family's Christmas

Date published: 1/8/2004

I am writing this letter to say "thank you" to all who made Christmas happen for me and my children.

I am a resident of Hope House, and words cannot express how much joy you all brought to the kids' faces on Christmas.

It is wonderful to know there are people out there who give their time and money to others, not just on Christmas, but every day of the year.

I have been at Hope House for about 18 months, and not one day has gone by that someone has not brought something for us, whether food, bathroom supplies, or just a visit. It means a lot to us. I just want to let all know how much it has been appreciated.

I would also like to show my thanks to the staff at Hope House for all the time and energy you put into us. Thank you for the time you spend with us, the baby-sitting, the rides any time of day, classes, and tutoring. But, most of all, thank you for giving me the chance to make a new life for my children.

Also to the Secret Santa: "Thank you."
