Project Santa was a Success!



We want to thank all of you who donated to Project Santa.  It was so wonderful to see the excitement on the faces of the ladies from Children's.  We knew right away that we had made a difference in the lives of these children. 

Cathy and Maggie told us that Children's Hospital's budget for toys is very low because they focus on care and research.  The hospital is only able to budget $1.00 per patient! You can't even buy a pack of gum for $1.00! They went on to say that they never run out of toys though because of people like you. So we thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us put a smile on these kids faces.  Thank you for helping us make a difference.  We wouldn't have been able to do it without your help.

It was so rewarding for Tim and I to be able to give back to the hospital that saved Max's life.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Beth, you & Tim are amazing! To be able to to do all this AND manage all of Max's care--which is, oh, only about 2 full-time jobs in & of itself--well, all I can say is wow. And I love how excited Max looks in the photos. Have a very Merry Christmas & a wonderful 2010.

Wow, just looking at all those toys for kiddos gave me chills! That is so awesome that so many kids will have smiles on their faces at least for a bit during this holiday season. You have inspired me to try to do something similar very soon. You guys are amazing!
