what people say about usThank You

  • Dear Anna’s Wish,

    Thank you for you kind gifts that you recently donated to the hospital. The cat & Strong Museum of Play tickets brought many smiles to families. 🙂 I really appreciate your kindness. Anna’s spirit is alive through your giving! Again, many heartfelt thanks.

  • Dear Anna’s Wish,

    I just wanted to say how very much your help this Christmas has meant to me and to my children. We have been struggling through this disease for the past year and funds are very limited. My daughter has Ewing’s Sarcoma and she has been through so much at 11 years old, but continues to smile! This Christmas her joy will be so great and it is because of Anna’s Wish and the Cure Foundation. Thank for bringing my children joy this year. It is the best gift a mother could ever receive. I hope and pray you all have the joy that I feel this holiday season! God bless you and thank you, thank you, thank you! From your extended family.

    P.S. (From the child battling cancer) Thank you so much, you made my mom smile.

  • Dear AW,

    Thank you so much for helping us with our purchase of a wig for our son. Since his diagnosis, it’s the only thing that he has asked for as he wanted to look as much like his old self as possible during chemo. You can see that the wig has allowed him to do that. Your kindness has made our lives a little easier and the treatments a little more palatable. Thank you again and my God bless you.

    Special Gift
  • Dear Anna’s Wish,

    Our family would like to thank you for the gifts you provided this Christmas; they were truly appreciated! Our son (age 4, battling A.L.L.) was hospitalized for treatment the first half of December and your generous gifts not only brightened Christmas morning for both of our boys, but also took a burden of time (to shop, wrap, etc) and expense off our family as well. The work you do honors the truly special and generous spirit of Anna McKinney.

    Sincerest thanks & appreciation.

  • Dear Friends,

    Thank you so much for the generous gift of gift cards for our family. Words can’t come close to saying how much it was appreciated. Our children were speechless when we told them of your gift. Your strength and love are in inspiration. You will forever be in our thoughts and prayers. Much Love!
