Helping families bond and relax

Wayne & Friends,

Thank you for providing a place for families to go and forget about their worries. The Believe In Tomorrow House By The Sea is one of the most inspired programs to help the children who are ill along with helping the families bond and relax. It had been a wonderful weekend for Nicholas and I to spend time together - it's hard as a blended family with one child who has autism and another child who has been battling his cancer for the past 3 1/2 years to find time to just relax. You and your group of volunteers are able to do that with all the wonderful things you guys think of. We had good weather, went to the boardwalk, played mini golf (Nick and I tried with a 38 - we did good and had a blast!). We even went to this library in OC to work on a paper Nick needs to get done. The dinner out was outstanding - it's now Nick's new favorite place! As the weekend come to an end, I find that I already miss being here - just relaxing and enjoying each other. It's the little things like staying up and watching a movie together or just doing things with your family. No work or other interruptions taking away your attention.

We love you guys and hope you'll invite us back for another visit soon!

- Mary, Fred, Kathryn, Shanna, Freddy & the Main Man Nicholas
