Perfect!



In one word – Perfect! The house is gorgeous, the weather was perfect, all of the activities and events were fun and enjoyed by our whole family. Thank you to everyone involved in this fabulous organization. We feel so lucky and thankful to have had this opportunity for the perfect family vacation. Since January when our son was diagnosed with AML, we have been living as two families of two. This week, however, we were able to relax and reconnect as one family of four.

The pirate adventure was a big hit with our family as was the fishing, water park at Frontiertown, and of course we all loved the beach. A million thanks to Wayne, Brian and all of the local folks who contribute their time and resources to provide families like ours with this outstanding vacation experience!

What a wonderful week.

Our thanks go out to the Believe in Tomorrow organization. Wayne is really on top of things. He kept our 14 year old son busy with many activities. All the volunteers he has are wonderful people as well. We enjoyed the cookout, the fishing trip, golf, tennis and eating both crabs and Mexican food.

Our son Bobby was diagnosed with non-hodgkins lymphoma a year ago April. He has made many positive strides since then. I know he enjoyed himself as well. We look forward to returning someday.

Take care and Thanks again,

We would like to thank all of you at "Believe In Tomorrow" for a wonderful beach vacation. The condo was fabulous and had everything we needed. Wayne and all of his staff were so nice. They had the whole week lined up for us and the kids were never bored.

Our son Cody has been thinking and saving for the beach ever since he relapsed last November. We were even late for check-in to the beach house by 24 hours because Cody was in the hospital with a fever. Cody has Stage IV Neuroblastoma for which there is no cure. We do not know what the future holds for our son. We cherish every moment we have with him, some are more stressful than others. That week gave us time to forget about the hospital and his treatments. The gift of great memories which you provide is invaluable. It's value can't be measured.

Cody started the next phase of his treatment in New York this week. It is an extremely painful treatment that he must endure. One thing is for sure, he has all of his great beach memories to get him through this. We can't thank you all enough.

Thank you!!!!
Sincerly,Mickey

What you do is truly amazing


It's very difficult to find the words to say thank you for all you've done. You're caring attitude and generosity are above and beyond. I could never have even imagined such a wonderful vacation and such wonderful people. What you do is truly amazing and we can't thank you enough. It was an incredible week and just being able to forget about cancer and chemo was awesome. Thank you again from the very bottom of our hearts.

Gratefully,
Stacey (J.P.'s mom)

Dear Believe In Tomorrow,

We had the most wonderful week. Everything was great. Thank you so much for allowing us to do all the wonderful things you provided. The kids loved the waterpark @ Jolly Rogers, and fishing on the boat. The cookout on 66th St was so much fun. Lollipop is the best! It is so nice that the volunteers donate their time and energy to families that have been through so much. Thank all of you again.
