Happy Belated Mother’s Day

Happy Belated Mother’s Day from Thumbuddy Special!

Thank you to all the friends who are busy selling our cash raffle tickets! It is not too late to get in on the action. Tickets are $5 each or 5 for $20. First Place-$500, Second Place-$300 and (2) Third Place Winners-$100.

Let me know if you are “feeling lucky” and send in your money. I will fill in your lucky tickets.

This past Friday, we hosted our Spring Happy Hour in Forest Park. A fabulous time was had by all. And as usual, the “Spirit” was powerful! God’s Work is fascinating to watch unfold. Angie and Bryan’s family received a “like-new” adapted van with a lift. This family has 2 children with Spina Bifida, both in wheelchairs. That is one Special Mom and Dad. The video below captures the excitement. Thank you for making this fabulous gift happen!

We are grateful beyond words for your support,
God Bless

A SPECIAL THANK YOU….

Dear Mary Ellen and the Foundation Board,

Please accept my sincere thanks for your generous donation of $10,000 that we will use to help families enroll in the West Suburban Special Recreation Association’s summer day camps. As you may know, we are inundated with summer day camp registrations and have an overwhelming amount of families who need scholarships. We take our mission to serve very seriously and have found it difficult to help everyone who expressed a need. Your very generous donation will allow us to give 15 – 20 kids a fun filled summer program!

It is through your generosity that we are able to meet the needs of so many families. Thank you again. We look forward to telling you more about the kids and the great summer they have with WSSRA.

Warmest Regards,
Marianne Birko
