My family and I just wanted to give a big public thank you to the Soroptimists, the volunteers and all those nice and thoughtful folks of our community that helped our family out with Christmas this year.

We can’t thank you all enough for all of your hard work and thoughtfulness. All of our children were so excited when they saw their gifts under the tree. Last year we had a horrible year and couldn’t get help from anyone. I just cried for weeks.

We have always been independent and we have always been able to help others out. How life has changed around. I just hope next year things will be looking up for us and we can return the favor. Happy New Year and bless you all.
