We will never forget your gift!

Dear Believe In Tomorrow,

On May 15th, 2008, our four year old son Caleb was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Our family includes Mom, Dad, Zachary 18, Spencer 15, Maggie 11, and Caleb is now 5. Our lives were forever changed on day as we entered the world of chemo, radiation, sugeries, blood infections and one very sick little boy. It has been frightening, sad and exhausting to be suddenly caught up in this non-stop battle against cancer. It is a place we never dreamt we would be, a regular visitor and almost at home on 4th floor Oncology at Children's Hospital in DC.

This House By The Sea has been a huge blessing. There is no way to express the depth of our gratitude for your gift to us. No schedule, no mail, no phone, just our family with a whole week to do whatever. The house is cozy and clean, the beach (our favorite spot) was so amazing, and all the extras really made our stay much more enjoyable.

We know that volunteers and a ton of work make this all a reality for families like us. Our family wishes would could hug the neck of everyone involved, look you in the eye and say THANK YOU.

We have new memories, new photos and lots of shells (and sand) to take home with us. We will never forget your gift!

With Love,
The Hawbakers
