Well, it has been a couple of weeks now and we have all been enjoying our new fence and tree house so much! I was expecting just some old tall fence to keep the kids in the yard, and would have been totally satisfied and grateful for that. But what you gave us was so much more! It is beautiful! And the tree house is any child’s dream play area – so much potential! I am delighted and touched that the boys got something so special, that will bring them so much fun and joy during this hard time. The fence has reduced our stress level with Zane- he has not escaped once. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for your time, your energy and for each of you making it happen in your own way. Even in the hardest times, there are so many blessings to remember. You are all part of our blessings.

With gratitude and love,
Elaine, John, Gavin and Zane
