“When I was 7, I started questioning the magic of Christmas. It was just me and Mom; there were nights when she fed me, but didn’t eat herself. She convinced me to write a letter to Santa: sure enough on Christmas day, there were toys waiting under the tree for me as well as a feast. That day I knew that Christmas magic was real. I’ve never stopped believing in that magic and it makes the Secret Santa program very near and dear to my heart.”

“Thank you for your generous donation and support to my cancer fight. This is my second time with cancer, so my family and I know all too well the emotional and financial stress fighting cancer entails.”

“Sending a big ‘thank you’ to all of the CVNL people! We appreciate your hard work. We received a gift card this was very needed and I can’t express how grateful me and my husband are to you all.”
