Testimonials 2024

“I hope you’re doing great.i wanted to take the time to tell you how much fun My family had. Thank you so much for making it possible and letting my family be a part of it. My wife loved the Christmas spirit, how welcome everyone made us feel, and how nice everyone was to us. My daughter liked taking pictures with the characters and my son enjoyed the activities. We can tell y’all went out of your way to make this possible for all the veteran families. I really appreciate your support. Being a unemployed disabled veteran and with California getting expensive by the day it’s hard and been a rough year but my family will now have gifts to open on Christmas Day thanks to you and everyone who made this possible. I wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.”

Sincerely,

T. O. 12/24

“I would like to say thank you and all the volunteers and supporters who made today happen. All my family had an awesome time. Shortly after coming home from the event my wife broke down in tears of joy. Thank you again for informing me about this event. I hope to be able to donate in the future for other veterans who need some assistance. Merry Christmas.”
