It helped my family a lot. Thank you very much." - BS family

"Dear... Sam's Children. Our daughter... age 9... suffered from a ruptured cerebellar AVM (damage to blood vessel tissue) two times. We have been at [the hospital] for 62 days and will be going to rehab for months. Thank you for blessing our family with your generous gifts." - The H family
“Thank you from the bottom of our hearts
for the Christmas gift card. You really
helped our family make this a special
Christmas. *****, our twelve year old
adopted from China in 2012, said it was her
best Christmas ever! Her father and I agree.
It was the best
ever in more ways than one. Your gift of
love helped us not to worry about how we
would financially survive the season. It
also helped us to remember all the people
who care and showed the
true meaning of the season. Thank you
for making a difference in so many lives.” -
Blessings & peace, VH
"On behalf of [GM's family] and the other children you have helped I want to thank you so much for the generosity of Sam's Children. Your kind gifts have eased the challenges of extended hospitalizations for several families. As you know, many of the children who come to Baystate Children's Hospital live at great distances and have complicated medical situations requiring them to stay hospitalized for lengthy periods of time. This is a challenge for families who do not have resources of family support to deal with the extra stress and cost. It is a pleasure to work with you and your staff, and we continue to be very grateful that you are available to help." sincerely, Deborah Levine LICSW, social worker, Baystate Medical Center
"Thank you so much for the... gift card. It Helped so much with Christmas gifts. I thought it was going to be our 1st Christmas ever without any gifts at all for my kids. My husband has been out of work for a year now so this is so different for us. Our daughter suffers from Spinal Bifida and her Neuro Surgeon that she's been seeing since birth is in NY & we don't even has gas to get there. As is my car broke down this past weekend & we had to junk it today. Things are tough for us. But we know things will get better. You helped us for Christmas and gave us hope again. Thank you so much." - DN family
"Thank you so much once again for your generosity. My son will pick himself out something nice with this. May God bless you for all the good your organization does for our children." - CO family
"Thank you very much for the letter about the gift card. That is gonna be very helpful for Christmas. We also wanted to thank you for the money and gas cards you sent us while we were admitted to Baystate. That helped us so much and we are very grateful for your help... We just wanted to send this letter to show how thankful we are for your help" - M family

"I wanted to express my gratitude to you and
your organization for funding our adopted
daughters' iCanBike summer camp program.
I cannot begin to tell you how much this
opportunity has meant to our family. ******
(14 years old) did indeed learn to ride
independently and ***** (12 years old)
almost had it down. The fact that these two
children with special needs were able to
learn a skill they were not supposed to be
able to learn gives us hope in other areas
of their lives where the prognosis is not
positive." - Blessings, V.
"Thank you for your charity. Your act of kindness is greatly appreciated. As you know, my son has disabilities [preventing] him [from living] a higher quality of life[.] Thanks to your donation I can provide him with a home that meets his needs." - DR family
"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your help and Sam's Children's Fund for your generous gift. We went this past weekend to purchase the full size bed for my daughter who suffers from spinal bifida. Jennifer was able to get the latex-free bed that she wanted and would be and is perfect for her back pain. She was so excited n couldn't wait to try out her new bed that night. She loved it so much n was able to sleep thru-out the night without any added pain. Jennifer didn't even want to get out of bed the next morning because the bed was so cozy n super soft.
"Hello and a million thanks… thank you so much for your consideration from … all at Sam's Children Inc. This is wonderful news and is a huge help to us! The stress reduction alone while reading this was just great, and so appreciated." - VG family
"I wanted to thank you so much for sending us gas cards. We are going on 3 months at the hospital and gas is a huge expense. The gift cards were a huge blessing and your generosity is much appreciated." - Best, KA
“Today we thank you for choosing our charity, the Ronald McDonald House of Springfield for this special gift. Your kindness is beyond description and thank you seems so inadequate… We only hope you know how very much appreciate your generosity. Since January 1, 2013, you have provided milk to our House for our very special kids and their families. Since that time, your generous gift of milk has amounted to $954.75 (for which no goods or services were received)! Your thoughtful generosity provides so much more than a bed to sleep in. Like a comfortable pair of slippers, it provides our families with a safe, secure and homelike environment where they can find respite from the trials of the day.
"Oh my God, that would help us out so much. More than you know. Thank you, thank you, thank you. WOW... Thank you once again and that she will be in so much less pain at night this week. Wow, she's going to be so thrilled when I tell her. Thank you so much." - DN Family
"Because of the generosity of people like you, many more children like Billy will learn to ride a bicycle this summer through West Hartford's "iCan Bike" 2013 program. Your donation of $450 is very much appreciated, not only by the program participants and their families, but by all of us involved in bringing the program to town... Again, thank you for helping to make "iCan Bike" a reality for yet another year. We could not do it without you" - Sara Tamborello, Camp Director, iCan Bike Program

“I would like to thank you and all the folks at Sam's Children for the very generous gift. I have included a holiday greeting card with [my son's] photo. We wish you a happy and healthy holiday season and please know that [our son] will be told this gift was an act of kindness. He has been taught to commit random acts of kindness and has seen how special people feel when they receive one. This time [our son] will be on the receiving end!” - VW
“I really cannot thank you and Sam’s Children enough for helping her out like this. Mrs.****** and her son have been here several times as he has needed multiple surgeries and they are a wonderful family who never ask for anything. She was totally overwhelmed when we told her what you had done. She could not believe that complete strangers would help her in such a way. To her, that money is like a million dollars as she is pretty poor. You and Sam’s Children have been a gift from God for our House and families and we truly, truly appreciate all of your help. We have posted a thank you on our Facebook page and added a link to your website (Ronald McDonald House of Springfield, Mass.) Again, our many and sincerest thanks to all of you at Sam’s Children.”
- Jennifer Putnam, Executive Director of Ronald McDonald House of Springfield, Mass.
“I wanted to say a million thank you's for the crib set, gas card, gift card, and parking pass that I received yesterday from you. I can't tell you how much that meant to me. I felt a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders, and for the first time in a really long time I felt relief. I felt relief in knowing that my daughter will now come home and have the things that she needs. It brought tears to my eyes... Your charity is a true blessing and I don't think I could really ever put into words how much I am thankful for what you have done for us. You guys are wonderful and I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would be honored if there was anything I could do to help put the word out there about your charity and all the wonderful things that it does.” - Southington
“I wanted to take this time to say thank you. Sam's children have really helped us so much. Not only has it helped A… and J…but myself as well. When A…. and J… were diagnosed with P.D.D, which is a form of autism, I was devastated… When the girls started at {the} Dance Academy they began to shine brighter than ever before. They truly enjoy dance class. From the moment they stepped onto the dance floor they were glowing. They love singing and dancing. Not only has it been beneficial for them but myself as well. I started to break out of my shell and I communicate with other parents . Thank you so much at Sam's Children. We are more than grateful for everything you have done for my family.” - With lots of love, D.
“I am in tears... Thank you so much. THANK YOU! Thank you to all at Sam's. Thank you just isn't even enough... We don't want to have to access these kinds of resources. We want to be able to give, and up until 2 years ago we were in a position to give. I am so grateful for the generosity of the team. All the best." - CMR
