Thank You! - From Damian Jr.

THANK YOU!

As we quickly close out 2010 and usher in a new year, we wanted to say thank you. Thank you for being apart of a sea of love and support for our son and family as we have embarked on a $60,000 fundraising project with three main goals: (1) modify our home for his accessibility, (2) obtain a new vehicle to transport him and his “stuff” safely, and (3) cover the expenses for his neurologic music therapy sessions.

With your help, we have raised close to $32,000 in grants, donations, discounted materials, donated services, and monetary gifts. Here is what we have achieved together!

Home Modifications
We were able to successfully complete Phase 1 of home modifications – transitioning Damian Jr to the main level.
 Beautiful, thick laminate flooring and quality padding for entire main level was significantly discounted.
 Accessible ramp for front door access was approved.
 Countless hours of labor were donated to install the flooring at no cost.
 Other Phase 1 tasks were completed to include door widening and installation and painting, etc at no cost.
 Quality daybed and foam mattress was donated for his new room.
 Multiple instruments for Damian’s music room were donated (chimes, triangle, piano, bells, shoe taps, etc)

Vehicle
 Transportation services were donated.
 A beautiful 2002 Jeep Cherokee was donated and towed to us.

Music Therapy
 Payment for 24 music therapy sessions was donated.

Damian Jr is THRIVING, and we are grateful for all of those prayed for us, encouraged us and donated financial resources and items to meet his needs.
