Dear Candlelighters,
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to each of you for whom as volunteered at the Thrift Shoppe, many sponsors with a generous heart, also the members of Candlelighter's organization giving up countless hours of encouraging words.  We had special days and special times from just a quite moment, or a ride in the theme parks, or socializing at special events.  You made it all so special each time.  The greatest thing I can thank you for is all the joy and warmth you bring into our lives
Thank ever so much- The Steigerwald family

Dear Candlelighters,
I would like to thank you for everything!  Everything like fixing our car, to helping us get to and from the hospital.  Helping us financially so my parents could pay the bills.  Also, for all the outings the Candlelighters had, and thanks to Adis & Carrie for inviting me any my family to them.  To be a part of it means the world to me and my family.  Thank you also to the sponsors who enable Candlelighters to help families like ours.

Thank you- Roxanne & family

Dear Candlelighters,
You've been such a help through all of this, anticipating needs and then filling them almost before we could ask.  You have been such a blessing in so many ways, providing a chance for my family to go to Sea World with me after being cooped up almost two years (because of Leukemia), giving us resources when we were unsure of what to do and where to look, and even sending Christmas gifts when I was going through intense chemotherapy.  I'm thankful there are people like you who reach out to make a difference- because they do.     THANK YOU ALL!!!
Sincerely- Krissy

We just wanted to say "thank you" again for the great time that we had yesterday at "Crystal's Walk".  Josh had a blast in the bounce house and loved being by the lake and playing in the park.  Even if just for just a little while, we were able to forget about cancer and treatments and just focus on our family and having fun.  Thanks again for all that you do for all of us "Candlelighter Families". 
Lots of love- Hector, Amy & Josh

Dear Candlelighters,
I want to express our deepest thanks to you for your generosity.  The Christmas we had was great and most importantly "normal" for our family.  When Sydney was diagnosed- we were confused, heartbroken and felt so alone.  No one could really understand.  Then you came along.  I keep positive every day and am grateful everyday.  Thank you for everything- mostly for you genuine kindness.
Love- Jennifer and family.

Dear Candlelighters,

Thank you- Amy, Hector and family.

Thank you so much for the wonderful Christmas gifts.  The Christmas party was so nice.  It’s really nice to see so many children smile and play and forget about their illness.  We are thankful every day for all that you do and have done for us.  Our family is sending happy Holiday wishes to all of you.

Thank you- Jackie & family

Dear Candlelighters,
Thank you for everything that you do, we can't thank you enough. No words can express the gratitude that we have for you all. We had such a great time at the weekend retreat on the much needed vacation. I thought I would tell you that Friday night after the scavenger hunt when we were getting ready for bed the girls were on the bed watching TV and right as I go to give them a kiss, Ciera says “Mommy, this is the best vacation of my life”, with her arms behind her head like the relaxation pose. I thought that was the cutest thing and thought I would share that with you. Again thank you for everything that you do. I hope that you are blessed everyday, because you deserve to be.
Thanks- Jessica

Dear Candlelighters,
Thank you for the lovely "get-a-way" weekend.  Your caring and devotion shines through everything you do.  It was nice meeting you and the other families.
Thanks- Roxanne, Jeff, Jeremy, Justin & Jessica
