Our 18 month old son was admitted to the hospital on Christmas Eve after an Asthma attack.  We spent all of Christmas Day in the hospital and that afternoon, I opened the bag of goodies & read the note.  It brought tears to my eyes.  Thank you for all you do. 

My son William Barker was critically injured in a football game on 10/23/2009 and I was summoned to the hospital around midnight.  I was completely clueless as to ho severe his injury was and ofcourse had no thought of bringing something to eat or even a purse.  So being offered your care bag was truly a blessing on the many nights we are and will spend in the ICU waiting for him to get better.  So thank you and all those who support your cause.

The Barker Family

We want to thank you and your wonderful orginization.

Last Saturday, my husband called me at work (Noon) to say our oldest daughter was being admitted to Kaiser Hospital in Santa Clara. This was not expected, as just one week prior my husband had a heart attack and was also hospitalized there. By 1920 Hours, she was taken to Pediatrics and I was there for the next 5 days. On Sunday and then Wednesday your volunteers came by with a goodie bag. This brought a smile to our faces and we traded off items in the bag to each other. I want to say a very big THANK YOU! The Cup of Noodles was my daughters while I ate the cookies. I never was able to get the canteen machine (in the basement)  to take a $5.00 bill. It rejected it eacjh time and I had no other money so I had had nothing to eat since the Saturday before. Again thank you for your wonderful gift, Dee

I just want to thank the Frazier Family

I  took  my  19 month baby to a doctors appointment that she had because she was sick, and the DR. admited her to the hospital.  I was at the doctors all day And then at San Joaquin General all day and evening I had nothing to eat all day . The nurse gave me a bag of food and told me of your organization. My Daughter and I shared the bag. It was Wonderful Thank You so much.  I will be telling other people about it. Too make a long story short my daughter stayed 2 days and every thing was fine.  I think that it is a great organization.  

On 2/18/08 my son Francisco was admitted to John Muir Medical Center in WC.  We were at the urgent care the night before.

The hospital admitted him that morning.  My husband was at work. When we received the snacks and drinks it meant so much to me I started to cry.  After reading your story I kept the paper with me so I could send a thank you to your family.

We thank you again for your kindness.

The Ornelas Family 

I was very touched by the gifts you so thoughtful provided. My son is 9 years old and has very sever seizers. We arrived the hospital via ambulance code 3. We spend many hours in the ER and then were admitted and he had seizers although the night. They gave him mass amounts of drugs to stop the seizers. I was alone and could not leave his bed side when the nurse came in with the bag of goodies.

Thank you all so much for our blessing.

Our daughter recently had heart surgery at LPCH ten days ago, so we are here around the clock to watch over her a she recovers.   We are staying at the Ronald McDonal House at Stanford, so most morning we grab something to go so that we can be at our daughters bedside and not have to worry about where to get something to eat.  We are so grateful for the food you have donated to the Ronald McDonald house its one less burden for us to have to worry about.

Your genours support helps out so many families and I know our family is greatful.

Sincerely,

Tony and Amy Castillo

Hello Frazier family,

My name is Andrea and I attended High School with Stephanie.  She was the first new person I met on my first day of Freshman year.  She was so friendly and we instantly became buddies in our p.e. class we shared.  Over the years we saw eachother around school and had shared friends.  She was always someone I knew I would never forget from high school.  Her spunk and no non-sense attitude was one of the things I most admired.

In 2005, unfortunately, I first found out about her passing.  I saw the Jefferson Award special on CBS5 news and I was in utter shock.  I moved away from the Oakley/Brentwood area just a couple months before her passing so I guess that interfered with me hearing of the devastating news.

My heart goes out to your family and I think about Stephanie often.  Especially now since our 10 year high school reunion plans are in full swing.

On behalf of everyone in the graduating class of 1998, I wish to give you our very belated condolences as well as thank you for allowing her memory to live in such a wonderful and helpful organization.

Sincerely,

Andrea Smith (George)

I just wanted to say thank you so much.  My daughter had surgery at San Francisco Kaiser two weeks ago.  She (and we) would have had to wait much longer to eat withour your help since her food tray was missing and, as it was, since she is a picky four-year-old she preferred the snack bags to the tray!  :)  Also, we almost lost her two years ago and I cannot express what reading your words meant to myself and her grandmother, my mom--your family is inspirational!
