A winter retreat

To The Staff at Believe In Tomorrow,

We wanted to thank you for the wonderful time that you made possible. The coupons, t-shirts, but most importantly the living arrangements. My wife and I were amazed and very pleased with everything. We had a winter retreat that was very much needed. Words can't express our gratitude and we look forward to coming back.

God bless you,
Jason, Regina, Annastaesha & family

"a quick spring getaway"

We've been here two nights and it's lovely, The accomodations are just beautiful and are more than we could have wanted or needed.

We've spent most of our time indoors, and thats been just fine. We've played games, watched movies and enjoyed our lovely surroundings.

Today we had lunch out and that was a nice treat. The service was excellent, and the resort staff has been so professional and helpful. (Thank you Max and Kelsie!)

Tonight, our last night, my daughter and I will go tubing while the others stay home and hang out - we're really a lazy bunch. But I guess that says a lot about the accommodations! The house is a really nice place to be - my favorite spot is a chair in front of the fireplace.

On behalf of my entire family I want to again thank the Believe In Tomorrow program staff and volunteers for all you do and making this program possible. This is the second and last time we have been the grateful recipients of the program. Last August we were guests at the Beach House - it was wonderful, beyond our expectations and a thrill to be at the ocean. This time, we've taken a quick spring break getaway for 3 days. Both experiences are ones that we financially wouldn't have been able to do with our kids otherwise and we are profoundly grateful for the generosity and support that make Believe In Tomorrow possible.

This April we will celebrate one year of post-chemo living! Our daughter is strong and healthy and enjoying life. Words fail to express the gratitude we feel to be at this place in our lives - God is good.

Therefore - we are "turning in" our Believe In Tomorrow privileges and blessing to the next family who can benefit from the blessings of Believe In Tomorrow - a place to rest, regroup, refresh and renew in the midst of tough times, with the hope that they too will "graduate" from Believe In Tomorrow and pass it on. Our prayers to all the families who walk through Believe In Tomorrow's doors.

Thank you

"This place is incredible"

A great big thank you to Believe In Tomorrow, its volunteers and supporters and Wisp Mountain Resort. This place is incredible. We are really grateful for the weekend of luxury and fun!

Yesterday we learned to ski, snow tubed and rode the mountain coaster. What a wonderful day! Today we are going to see the Huskies.

Thank you for helping our special children!

A Fantastic Week

To Believe In Tomorrow Folks:

My Son has had a grueling year with hospital stays, chemo treatments, shots, and way more than any 6 year old should have to go through. You gave us a week to forget all. A week of skiing, playing in the snow, snuggling near the fire, endless games of Monopoly, 20 Questions, and Yahtzee which delighted our little one as well as the rest of the family. Max was an angel, a snow angel!! He rocks! He took such great care of us, I can't say enough of how thoughtful he was. The new year started fantastic for us up here in Wisp, Deep Creek, and let's hope the rest of the year is as fabulous!

Love to all from, Lisa, Jim, Chris and Mikey!! :)

Wisp Mountain - just what we needed

What a beautiful place! Our family was so surprised. Thank you to all who support Believe In Tomorrow.

We had a rough Christmas/New Years with our son being in the hospital. It was a lot of stress on the whole family and this is just what we needed to get our life back where it should be. We wish our weekend would never end. We made some great memories here that we will never forget.

Thanks to all,
Rich, Carole, Steve, Ryan, Rachel
