THANK YOU :)

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed to the Go Fund Me. The kindness and generosity of friends, family, acquaintances, and even people we have never met is truly touching. This money will be extremely helpful as our family addresses increased costs in terms of medication, counselling and physiotherapy at home, as well as, food and comfort items for hospital stays, while at the same time having a reduced income so that I am able to focus on Eric’s needs.

I would also like to thank all the people who have contributed in so many ways over the past year and a half:

  •           The Baker Drive staff who made Eric an amazing gift and activity basket when he was first diagnosed
  •           All the friends and family who gifted stuffies, activities, gift cards, etc when Eric was first diagnosed
  •           Everyone who contributed to the meal train at our home during Eric’s initial phases of treatment last year
  •           Everyone who contributed to the meal train for Chuck and I at the hospital during Eric’s first phases of treatment last year
  •           The family who walk Millie, and all the people who have offered to walk and/or look after her
  •           Everyone in the Baker Drive Elementary community who contributed money and gift cards late last year after Eric’s relapse
  •           The wonderful neighbours who dropped off 2 lbs of strawberries and a case of mangos after hearing they were Eric’s favourite
  •           The friends who gifted us admission at the aquarium so Eric could have a fun day out during a hospital stay
  •           The people who have gifted us items from our Amazon Wish List to make hospital stays easier
  •           The friends who randomly show up at the hospital with strawberries, coffee, donuts, dinner, tea, etc
  •           The friends who randomly show up at home with strawberries, lunch, dinner, muffins, cookies, etc, and
  •           The friends who not only make me leave the house for coffee, brunch, dinner, a movie, trivia night, but then also pay for it too.

Everyone has been so incredibly supportive that I am probably missing other kindnesses and I apologize if I have missed you. This last year and a half has been the hardest thing that we have ever, and hopefully will ever, have to deal with it, but it has opened my eyes to how many truly good people there are in the world. I am so thankful for all of you.

With love from Jacqueline, Chuck, Joel, Eric and Millie
