You have gathered a great group of volunteers ...

Dear friends of Believe In Tomorrow,

Let me start by saying, "Wow!" This trip exceeded my expectations on every level. I was expecting a great condo and the beach. I got that and so much more. The activities that you offered us were awesome. Both children enjoyed the Pirate Adventure, Frontier Town, and Jolly Rogers. Jake loved his surf lesson. (Lee and his two boys were so kind and patient with him.)

You have gathered a great group of volunteers who could be seen watering plants, scrubbing the fence, cooking us dinner, etc. Each day I saw "someone doing something," and that is why this house looks so great. Again, you surpassed my expectations by a mile.

Having a child with cancer has been the hardest thing our family has ever experienced. Our daughter has suffered physically, and our own son has had more to deal with than any 9-year-old should. Being a sibling of a sick child is very tough. Like most people, their father and I work full time. Believe In Tomorrow has given all four of us a wonderful week to reconnect, play, rest and just be a family. We will never forget this gift you've given us.

I really can't say enough.

Fondly,
The McCarter family
