"I can’t thank you enough for all the wonderful things you send me. Before Humanitarian Service, I hadn’t been able to go purchase anything for myself since my husband died in 2000. Just not enough money.  If I had a few pennies left Melissa (my granddaughter) needed something. Now with all the beautiful things you send I have a nice wardrobe. Thank you so very much. I know I sometimes forget to tell you how much I appreciate it but I’m not much of a letter writer. My hand cramps a lot and it hurts to write. But I do want you to know how much I love all the things you send and its been a godsend to have you in my love." - Love, Mae V

"Thank you so much for the generous gift of groceries you delivered Saturday. It was totally overwhelming and really meant a lot to me. I shared some of it with a friend who had been living on oatmeal for 3 days. I’m still overwhelmed at how much food I have in my cabinets, refrigerator and freezer. Thanks again for all your help." Sincerely, Beth S.

"Just a few lines to let you know how much I appreciate the help you have given me. I got my glasses (from Lenscrafters' Gift of Sight Program) today. I will never be able to thank you and my secret pal enough. You are a very good friend. You are there when I need you most. Thank you so very much.                                   Your friend always, Beverly C"

"Dear Humanitarian Project, I want to thank you all (belatedly) for all the gifts, food, and everything you have provided me with the past few years. Mostly, I want to thank those people who carried those heavy, heavy boxes to our apartments. Any point from parking to any of our apartments is a long, long hike. I really don’t know how you all have managed! It has been great to have the food supplies to fall back on especially in our recent cold weather! I also want to thank my delivery drivers and their extras. Everything has been used and much appreciated. Thanks again.                     Fondly, PeggyE.                                                                            PS- Also the Christmas watch has been used often already."

"Just a note to thank you! Your generosity was so overwhelming I was speechless the morning of delivery. Everything, everything was just wonderful! Bless you, Wanda"

"Dear Friends, I cannot let this opportunity go by without telling you what a difference you make in people’s lives like mine. I appreciate your kindness and generosity. Love you, Sara R."

"Dear Friends, Thank you so much just for being there. Like so many times I used to not know where I was going to get my next meal. Thank you for the food and everything else. Like I always say you are my angels. Because of you when Christmas comes I get things that I so badly need. I was not used to presents until you came along. Thanks my angel." Beverly C.

I hope that the coming year finds even greater support for your loving work."                                     Pam

"Just to let you know what a fantastic job you are accomplishing for other human beings. Indirectly, you have saved three suicidal men in my building that I have been able to serve hot meals to. We eat together and have many positive telephone conversations (since I have no automobile.) Bless you, bless you"                            Cathe

1995:
"It is such a blessing to have such wonderful friends and I feel so grateful for the food each month. I just finished a tangerine you sent me and it was so sweet and good. I love the pears you sent, too.  You are all such special people at the Senior Project. You are all such beautiful people. The people are so gracious and cheerful I love you all. P.S. I love the letters from the youngsters. I read every single one."                                                                  Doris

"You all have been wonderful and good to me. I have appreciated all you have done for me. Thank you to all my friends. Keep up the good work. Someday I will be out there helping you all too. I will be 89 years old this month. Keep well and strong."             Rosemary

"I want to thank you and all who helped for the wonderful variety of food that I received this month. I was overwhelmed! When I hear people talking about the problems and selfishness in our country, I think of all the caring, generous people that are a part of this Senior Citizen Project. My heart is so full, and I just hope that some day I can do as much for others that find it hard to manage. "                                                                             Grace

"It’s unbelievable! It’s really a miracle! To have a prayer and a wish fulfilled that our rental deficit to the tune of $1,000 has been paid thru your "humanitarian" team’s efforts. There’s always an angel ready to rescue anybody in distress for a very worthwhile cause. Thanks to you and your team, as well as to our unknown benefactor. Please extend to him/her our family’s heartfelt gratitude, for a few indeed would know what you have done but Somebody up there would say "whatever you have done to the least of your brethren you have done it to Me." Thanks for the foods, etc..too."                                                                            Ismael and Ninfa

"To all of you. From you to us is always Thanksgiving. You come to our home with many things and you are with us, when we need you with your warm hearts and the smile on your face. You make the impossible, possible."                                                                Pat and Jimmy

"Just a little note to say thank you for all the wonderful food that’s sent to me every month. You must know how much it helps, (when your living on a limited income, every little helps).

2001:
"I am possitively grateful to you people, one and all, for all the help you’ve been to me. My health is bad at times. I keep going. ‘Don’t see kids to often, try to manage myself. It’s just a god sent for people like you to help out when we get older. ‘Taking so many pills. Can’t get out too much. ‘Do walk around complex sometimes for exercise. I’ve been pretty sick. Bad, bad 3 weeks. God bless all of you."                                                                                     June

"You gave me a wonderful Christmas. Without your generosity and loving kindness it would have been bleak. The silverware caused much excitement. I simply couldn’t believe the package was for me. I used all pieces and enjoyed every mouthful. I spent the vouchers on medicine and a much desired mattress pad. Now I leap out of bed in the morning like an eighteen year old instead of an aching Methuselah! So very grateful to you for making this possible for me. I think of you as my family. "                                          Cathe

We had tears in our eyes and said, "These people really care for us" Thank you so much."                                                                               Martha and Nancy

"Thank you for the best Christmas ever! You really did it! I was so overwhelmed with so many beautiful gifts and so much food--Box after box with sweaters, booties, lamps, and boots – I don’t know how someone picked out a pair that fit and I like! I’m working on the 2000 piece puzzles. I might get it done by summer. Oh yes, chocolates....mmmm!!! You are the best people! You will be rewarded abundantly. Thank you again."                                                 Betty

"Being on such a tight budget after rent and bills, I find I don’t have enough cash for other needs. My medicine is quite expensive. I use every product I get. Thank you for my white walking shoes. God bless you all, I love you and all your helpers."                        Margaret
