I want to thank you with all my heart for what you have done to make this a wonderful Christmas for these two girls. You went so far beyond my wildest dreams. I thought if anything I may have been able to recieve one or two small items from signing up and figured anything helps!!! I had been telling them Santa might only be able to get them a couple presents this year because there is so many little kids he needs to get presents to... I just do not know how to show you how grateful I am for what you did. It was way beyond my expectations.
