Thank you for EVERYTHING!
August 15, 2008 by admin.
Dear Believe In Tomorrow -
What a wonderful week! From the welcome basket to the dinners to the activities - everything was so great. I think the best thing was that Wayne did all the planning. After scheduling so many appointments, dealing with health insurance and coordinating prescriptions, it was nice to not have to think. And, the activities were very appropriate. I think Kailey liked everything - the OC Rocket, mini golf, Jolly Roger Water Park, and especially the Pirate Adventure (so much fun for a 5 year old). Scott really enjoyed the opportunity to try surfing - he even got up on one knee and one leg.
The volunteers at the cookout were phenomenal. Kailey loved the entertainment and the homemade food was delicious. Everyone was so friendly - a wonderful group.
The professional photographers were great and were so patient with all of us.
The unit is also so well furnished. We brought toys and games which stayed in the car. The umbrella, beachchairs and boogie boards are so nice to have around.
Thank you for EVERYTHING! This week was so much more than we expected!
Stacey, Scott and Kailey

Thank you for caring
August 15, 2008 by admin.
It is Friday night. The last night of our vacation. As we pack up and clean out our belongings, it is hard to believe that tomorrow we will be back on the road to go home. We had an awesome vacation at Ocean City, a great “home” away from home at the Believe In Tomorrow House By The Sea. This week vacation was more than I imagined. All of the volunteers and staff were beyond friendly. The other families that were on vacation while we were here were great. Our family was whole again during our stay, we all became connected through our bad and happy moments. It is a shame that it has to end. We all enjoyed our stay. There were activities to accommodate everyone. The weather was awesome all week. Thank you for this family vacation. Every time we turned around we were surprised at what was offered to us.
Thank you for caring enough to take the time to gather donations for a great cause. I am sure that there are more families like ours that would not possibly be able to go on vacation if is wasn’t for Believe In Tomorrow.
Wayne,
Keep up the good work - you do an awesome job
Staff,
You’re beyond polite and considerate. - Thank you :o)
Believe In Tomorrow was an awesome experience.

Hats off to everyone!

Hats off to everyone for all the work you do to make Believe In Tomorrow possible. Everyone was just wonderful - the cookout was the most relaxing evening ever. The volunteers prepared great food and provided such enjoyable entertainment for the kids.
Wayne, thanks for all the tickets for events and food. The Splash Mt. day was so much fun and Kailan wore herself and everyone else out! If you go to Splash Mt., plan to go for the day — take food, drinks, and extra clothes and stay from 10-6. The amusement park isn’t much unless you have really small children but they will enjoy the kiddy rides.
The boat ride was good; golf was fun and everyone was very pleasant and made us feel welcome.
The “House By The Sea” is such a great home away from home. The little touches - special tea bags was so refreshing and very much appreciated. It was spotless when we came and in just excellent shape.
Thank you all volunteers and all who make this facility possible.

First and foremost I would like to thank you for all you did and with of the comfort you provided us. From the activities to the stay in the area - it was great. We had an exceptional time. The family enjoyed every day we spent here. It was very convenient to go back and forth to the beach with it not being so far. The cookout, the activities, everything was great. As much as we hate to leave we really enjoyed our stay and hopefully we would see you soon.
With love and thanks. God Bless.

Wonderful vacation in Deep Creek
August 15, 2008 by admin.
To all at Believe In Tomorrow Children’s Foundation,
Thank you for the wonderful vacation in Deep Creek. The Wisp house is gorgeous. On the drive up near Bear Creek there was a bear standing on his hind legs looking at the traffic on the side of the road. That excitement set the tone for the whole trip.
Wisp was generous and with the gift card we dune buggied, mountain coaster, ski lift to see the scenery, ate dinner once there and Brian’s 13 year old brother Pat got to paintball.
The boys were so excited all the way home they talked about all the “firsts” they’ve done. They never did any of these adventures before.
At the house we saw many hummingbirds, deer (2), a wild turkey, rabbit and ground hog while sitting on the back deck.
Enclosed is a picture of Brian. The first day - Monday- we took him to Swallow Falls. He caught 3 fish.
We also took the boys white water rafting. Everyone slept well that night. The weather was so nice Brian said we should move there. He had a great time telling everyone that Monday at Clinic.
Thanks again for the best vacation.
