As we receive thank you notes for our holiday drive gifts, we'll put them below. We hope you understand how appreciative the families are of your generosity!*
I cannot thank you and your organization enough, some day I am hoping we will be able to give rather than receive; however, right now things are just not good.
Thank you so much. I was anticipating a few items but totally blown away with your generosity. The gift cards, the floral arrangement, the home made cookies were all wonderful.
I would like to take a moment and thank each and everyone of you for your help during this time of hardship. I want to take the time to thank you for bringing over such wonderful gifts. Once again, thank you for getting me through tough times.
We cannot thank you enough for the multiple gift bags you provided us for Christmas. The gift cards, the food, the cleaning supplies, and everything else will be hugely appreciated throughout the year. Not only these gifts, but the computer, printer, financial aid, and help with college books is making our lives so much easier and helping to relieve that stress every year. Thank you again, we couldn't be doing this with you!
Thank you so much for the holiday gifts for my children. They had a wonderful Christmas and we couldn't have had anything without your help! Have a wonderful season and many blessings to all of those who have helped.
I just wanted to express my deepest gratitude to T&E Cares for all the assistance you have given to me and my family this past year. And I especially want to thank you for the Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas groceries, gifts and gift cards that were collected for us...I am truly truly overwhelmed. As you know, this has been a very challenging year for me but I also realize the warmth, generosity and compassion of people when it is truly needed. I will never begin to thank you and everyone for all you have done for us but please know it has made a huge difference in our lives. Also know that when things get better, I will be there to help you, the organization, and the community. For all you do, God Bless you. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
I just want to wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. P/S Thank you alot through out the year.
Thank you to TE Cares, again!! Wow, what a wonderful treat. Again, it's so hard to put into words how to thank you and your organization! Take care and God Bless!!
Wanted to send you and T/E Care a very big thank you for all the wonderful gifts and goodies which were very much appreciated and helped enormously.
I am writing to say thanks for all that you and T.E. Cares have given to my children and I. We appreciate everything and are very grateful for all.
On behalf of my entire family, thank you all very much for the wonderful gifts, and food basket you sent to us. We are sure the kids will have a wonderful time opening the gifts on Christmas eve (it will be a great surprise for them to have more gifts under the Christmas tree). Once again, thank you all very much for your generosity and for the work that you do for the community. May you and your families have a wonderful Christmas.
My family and I are very greatful for your help to our family specially with our daughter . She's really happy with her gifts. Thank you so much for helping.
Dear T/E cares: This year the economy has hit my family in a profound way. With the help from your assistance I've learned how to budget my finances. Although I'm getting better with this task, their's still a shortfall at Christmas. I was overwhelmed with your continuous generosity, bearing gifts to my family. To the T/E cares family and all their supporters, Thank you!
Thank you soo much for the gifts! My daughter loves the food and toothbrush! We can't wait to drink the hot cocoa too!
On behalf of my family and me, I want to thank T & E Care for all the Christmas gifts to us! We are overwhelmed by your generosity! T & E Care's work with the underprivileged of the area is immensely valuable, that is, "rich" in meaning. In other words, it is meaningful both to those who give and receive. Because of you, I am inspired by a new hope and meaning in life during this holiday season. Thank you for being a gift to my family!
Thank you so much for the blessings from TE Care today -- so generous to give all those cleaning supplies and food and other items -- and such great generous gift cards--- they bring great relief as they make Christmas brighter for my boys and bless me with some relief. Thank you from my heart and soul. Putting all this down -- recognizing blessings that present themselves, being grateful and appreciating the good things on the other side of the balance, is the only way to go on. My thanks to you -- the work you do is a blessing.
I want to thank you all at TE Care for all you do for the community. My family is very grateful for all you do for us. You always put a smile on our faces. Once again from the bottom of my heart thank you very much.
When I grow up...I want to be like those in your organization! I do not know the extent of your faith/beliefs, and so I do not want to offend. However, I am grateful to God for blessing you with hearts to GIVE. You, not only GIVE, but you WORK and COORDINATE, to GIVE. I know you freely share the "thank yous", but please take a moment to accept my appreciation for your heart and your hands. Many thanks to T & E Cares and may all of you have a Merry Christmas and a very blessed New Year! When I grow up...
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank your organization and the community for these great blessings. Words cannot express the joy in knowing that this community is so caring and giving. Thanks to all the volunteers that helped to make this holiday season joyous. I would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season.
I'm sorry I missed you yesterday. I got off work late. I want to thank you for all the stuff and wish you and your family HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
