To all of you extremely generous, sweet, wonderful people who picthed in for the gift certificate.....

THANKYOU!!!!!!!!! I just opened it, it was mailed to my old apt. so I had to wait for Dex to come up..he just got it and I just opened it...I am extremely speechless. I dont even know what to say, I cant stop crying, to know that people whom I have never even had the pleasure of meeting in real could be so thoughtful and caring to do something like this..its beyond words, I am just blown away, completely blown away.
I didnt get a list, so I dont know who to officially thank, I do know that Mrswask started this idea and I cant thank you enough..mrswask, LIW and EVERYONE!!!!!
I have been so stressed for money, I wanted to get those boys so many things and with having to move etc. its been financially troubling...but NOW..I can get them the bikes they desparately want, Im going to take them to Target and let them pick out their own bikes, they need pajamas etc. You guys will never know what this means to me....several of my friends havent even done anything for me and you guys have been sooooo supportive on here just emotionally and now this!!!!!! I just cant thank you all enough. From the bottom of my heart....THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I promise, when they get here..in a few weeks..I will take pictures of the boys picking things out, things that you bought for them and I will post those pictures. They will also know what you guys did for them.
You have no idea the stress you just took off of my back. Money is so tight and I can breathe now..they will get their bikes and then some!!!!!!

I love you guys. THANK YOU again...thank you thank youthank youthank youthank youthank youthank youthank youthank you

We are all so happy for you and proud to 'know' you because your heart is huge and amazing and your determination is so admirable! We have all been following your story for months and every feeling you've had we've had too. Every picture you post brings all of us huge smiles and happy tears because you are doing the most amazing and wonderful thing!

We are all so moved and touched by what you are doing. You are such a generous, loving person, and deserve nothing but the best. You have blown us all way with your strength, motivation, and love for Biruk and Paulos.

I'm so glad that you received your gift and thanks to Mrs. Wask for organizing it. I was happy to participate in a gesture of support to such a deserving person.

nice to see u

Again..you are making me cry!!!! I cant believe all of you did this for me and I was oblivious to anything!!! I am beyond words by your thoughtfulness and love and support!!! Biruk and Paulos will know that you guys did this for them, I promise you that. They need to know how kind people can be! People who have never met them!!! Ive been telling everyone what you guys did for me. Noone can believe it!!! Its truly amazing. I really cant say thank you enough..I am still in shock, I have to look at it and make sure its real, like I didnt dream this or something. Like I said, doing this alone has been very stressful financially, I just started a new job and dont make a whole hell of alot, enough to get by, so your gift is a miracle, a chance to buy those boys the things they deserve and now I dont have to stress about buying them their bikes..you guys will never know how much I appreciate this..I hope I can express to you how grateful I am because I am, as I said before, blown away.
You guys have been so supportive emotionally, sharing in my excitement..I wish you could all go to Target with us just to see how happy they will be to pick out any bike they want, plus helmets and knee pads!!!
Paulos' letter said he wishes to ride a bike, thats all he wants to do..can you imagine, the things we all take for granted, this child dreams of riding a bike..well in a few weeks..he will have his dream come true..he will be staring at a ton of bikes and will be able to choose anyone he wants..this will be something he will never forget..isnt that amazing that YOU guys gave this to my children,..to two little boys who have suffered so much loss and experienced so much stress and pain st sucha young age...uh man,,,I keep crying...you guys have really touched me...more than you will ever know
Thank you

Mrswask..did you say its your birthday??? Happy Birthday!!!! And thank you so much for organizing this...thank you to everyone who did this..I cant say thank you enough....I love you guys!!!!

I dont know how to post on LIF...I havent been on there yet!
The boys should be here on or around the 22nd of July..Im either traveling or they will be escorted...but soon..they will be here!!! Their room is too cute! I laid in their beds last night just to see how comfy they were and they are soooo comfortable..I think they will be very very very happy!!!!
Thank you again!!!!!!!

I've been waiting for forever for you to get this! I'm so glad it's helpful. Mrswack and LIW are totally owed all the credit for the idea itself and the execution.

Can't wait to see pics of the boys on their new bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
