We received a very special Thank the Donor message from this thoughtful mom in our local area.

“Thank you so much. Your love went to my 17 year old son. He’s a heart patient on blood thinners and had impacted wisdom teeth surgery in the hospital. We couldn’t get the bleeding to stop after. He is a senior and active in his high school marching band and loves hunting and fishing. Thank you for your donation and helping save his life. Prayers and blessings to you." 💚
