“We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for what we woke up to this morning. We lost our baby girl this year & as we will always be sad & have heartache, today lifted our spirits & brought smiles, laughs, good tears, & joy to our home. To see my 6 yr old son so happy for everything melted our hearts. He said that is was his little sister's helpers that came. We will never forget this day & will always be grateful."

"You blessed our family this year in a way I can't even explain. As Christmas approached, our spirits sank. That is until we received the beautiful angel statue and perfect gifts for our family. You made our Christmas more than it would have ever been. Our 15 yr old son lit up every time each of us opened our gifts, we haven't seen him light up or act like a kid on Christmas in a very, very long time. That was priceless for us. God Bless you for making what would have been a truly depressing Christmas, one that we could celebrate!"

"I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the gifts you gave my family and I for Christmas! I was so worried about how I was going to handle Christmas after losing my wife to cancer. It was so heartwarming to watch the children open their gifts from the Christmas Commandos. They thought you were truly Santa Claus! Watching them being so excited and happy took away my pain for the day."
