...came to our family's rescue

"Thank you" just doesn't seem sufficient. Believe In Tomorrow has helped our family more than you can imagine over the past 2.5 years. Having a child diagnosed with cancer literally rocks your world. You lose a sense of balance and of peace. During the most difficult times, Believe In Tomorrow came to our family's rescue. Your respite homes gave us the opportunity to enjoy each other, have fun together, and regain that sense of balance and peace. We have been blessed with the opportunity to visit each of your homes and each time we have gone home rejuvenated, re-connected, rested and with memories that will last a lifetime. This trip will probably go down as the best of all - to see our son finally off chemo and enjoying life was wonderful!! He is truly blossoming right before our eyes. So, though it doesn't seem like enough - THANK YOU!! Believe In Tomorrow has blessed our family and we appreciate everything everyone has done for us!!

There aren’t enough words to express...

Dear Believe in Tomorrow – Volunteers and especially Wayne,

We feel so lucky and special to have been invited to stay at the house. I didn’t know what to expect since my kids are a little older (22,18,14) but they had a great time. We met so many nice families and my kids loved playing with the younger ones. All of the activities were awesome (go karts, Hoopers, LaHacienda, surf lessons, bike riding, O.C. Rocket, the water part, portrait on the beach, but we especially enjoyed the cookout.) There aren’t enough words to express how grateful we are. This trip came at the perfect time because we just found out that our 14 year old daughter who had Hodgkins Lymphoma for the past 10 months is cancer free so we really could celebrate.

Thank you so much.
Love,
Sandy, Randy, Ryan and Brandy
