Secret Santa feedback from New York Cares

DanHolohan

Thank you for

participating in the 22nd Annual New York Cares Winter Wishes for Kids

and Families Program. Your generosity helped fulfill the holiday wishes

of 34,000 children, teens and families citywide. 





Thank you

notes have been pouring in from the more than 200 agencies that

participated this year. Every season, we're incredibly moved when we

hear how seemingly simple gifts make a tangible impact on families'

holiday seasons.  



 



We thought you'd appreciate seeing some of this feedback firsthand. Here are a few of the many comments we've received so far:



 



"New

York Cares' generous donors helped bring holiday cheer to deserving

children and teens who may have otherwise gone without. These efforts

helped us achieve our goal of putting a smile on the face of each child.

On behalf of our clients and their families, thank you from the bottom

of my heart."



-  Mary Connolly, Director of Development and Communications, Episcopal Social Services





"I

want to extend my heartfelt thanks to the wonderful people who donated

gifts for our children. Their generosity was incredible and touched our

hearts deeply. The children were all smiles as they eagerly tore open

the colorful packages and saw their wishes come true. Words could never

express the looks on their faces."



-  Beverly Ellman, Director, United Cerebral Palsy of New York City, Bronx Children's Program





"Please

accept our deepest gratitude. Your contributions were used for the

delivery of a great holiday celebration with gifts that reached over 120

children in Manhattan and Queens. Your support and commitment in

helping us meet our needs is truly appreciated, especially for the

families who are facing difficult times in their lives."



-  Elba Moreira, Children & Youth Counselor, Violence Intervention Program, Inc.





From all of us at

New York Cares, and the tens of thousands of kids, teens and families

whose holidays you helped make brighter, thank you!





Sincerely,

They're kids, they always look good when smiling!

Thank you Dan for showing us how easy it is to make a difference.  My family has enjoyed participating and look forward to another chance where we can help.  Kudos to all that took the time this year and to those who will again in the future.
