“This place is awesome.”

Dear Wayne and Volunteers,

Thank you so much for all you have done for our family during our stay. Brasen was diagnosed with Leukemia in September of 2008 when he was 4 years old. He is now 5 and this is his first true beach experience which he would not have experienced without Believe In Tomorrow giving him and our family the opportunity to come and stay at a wonderful place with wonderful people for a week and experience so many things in Ocean City. Brasen said, “This place is awesome.”

THANK YOU!

To everyone who makes Believe In Tomorrow possible, we want to say THANK YOU! Our family has not had time like this since our son was diagnosed with Acute Pre B Lymphoblastic Leukemia on 2/14/2008. It was very relaxing and we had a great time. We met great people, made new friends and were just a family again. Please say thank you to all who made this vacation possible for us. Wayne, you “rock.”

Love,
Don, Leah, Samantha, Nathan & Zachary

We will never forget your gift!

Dear Believe In Tomorrow,

On May 15th, 2008, our four year old son Caleb was diagnosed with kidney cancer. Our family includes Mom, Dad, Zachary 18, Spencer 15, Maggie 11, and Caleb is now 5. Our lives were forever changed on day as we entered the world of chemo, radiation, sugeries, blood infections and one very sick little boy. It has been frightening, sad and exhausting to be suddenly caught up in this non-stop battle against cancer. It is a place we never dreamt we would be, a regular visitor and almost at home on 4th floor Oncology at Children’s Hospital in DC.

This House By The Sea has been a huge blessing. There is no way to express the depth of our gratitude for your gift to us. No schedule, no mail, no phone, just our family with a whole week to do whatever. The house is cozy and clean, the beach (our favorite spot) was so amazing, and all the extras really made our stay much more enjoyable.

We know that volunteers and a ton of work make this all a reality for families like us. Our family wishes would could hug the neck of everyone involved, look you in the eye and say THANK YOU.

We have new memories, new photos and lots of shells (and sand) to take home with us. We will never forget your gift!

With Love,
The Hawbakers

I loved Ocean City

I loved Ocean City. Thank you for letting us visit. I want to come back again. I loved everything, especially the Pirate Adventure and mini golf.

so grateful for the opportunity

Dear Friends,

I was to thank you for the wonderful week this summer that your organization provided for me and my family at the “Home on the Bay.”

We are so grateful for the opportunity you provided for us to relax and enjoy some family time together. Muriel has six more weeks of chemo-therapy and she will soon be on her way to recovery from bone cancer.

The work that your staff and volunteers do is awesome. May the good Lord bless you for your generosity and thoughtfulness.

Regards,
Ms. Edith, Grandmother of Muriel

Words don’t adequately express…

Dear Wayne,

What a wonderful week that we had with you and your amazing organization. Words don’t adequately express the love and care that we felt all week while in Ocean City.

We were able to rest and recharge when we wanted, and then go have fun the rest of the time. What a treat. We came away from the week with some wonderful memories that we made together.

Thank you to both you and your volunteers. We know that you worked very hard to make our week wonderful.

time with the family!!!

Thank you for a wonderful week. Everything was great. The people here are awesome, the activities were fantastic. This place is great for the kids to get away from everything and to just their time with the family!!!

Thanks so much!

time together

What a week! Our familly got just what we needed… time together.
Fishing was awesome, the place was fantastic and all the activities were wonderful. Thanks to all who put in such effort to give these kids the time of their lives.

God Bless,
Eric, Mena, Bryce, Trenton

we are beyond grateful

Wow - What an amazing experience this has been! Even though the weather didn’t seem to be on our side this week, we still thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! What you guys do for families is life-saving. Our daughter Adisyn (13 months) was just released from Hereshy Hospital after a 15 day stay for pneumonia. Vacation wasn’t even looking to be a possibility this summer, but Believe In Tomorrow made it happen. And we are beyond grateful for that. With Adi’s diagnosis of SMA type1 (spinal muscular atrophy) traveling doesn’t always work in our favor. But with the space here it allowed us to bring our nurse with us and enjoy every minute together without contantly worrying. Thank you for helping us rejuvenate our family.

a chance to reconnect

What a wonderful vacation this has been for my family at the Believe In Tomorrow House on the Bay. It definitely gave us a chance to reconnect from our hectic schedules between hospital and work.

The staff, volunteers and merchants did an amazing job of keeping us entertained, fed and very happy. We definitely feel refreshed and ready to tackle whatever lies ahead.

Your thoughtful, caring gift will be with us forever.

Fondly,
Linette & Ron, Ariel, Gabey, Muriel, Nathan & Danie
