TESTIMONIALS 

There are so many memorable aspects. The smiles of the children while making crafts, the tears my son had when he got his new shoes, or how grateful he was when he got his outfit. I have never seen a child so thankful. The forever memories that we created while getting ready and taking photos, and walking into a winter wonderland night and having such an amazing dinner. I cannot forget about the bike for my daughter. You all did what I couldn’t. It was a night that I will always remember for my family.
