"On behalf of our Pediatric Oncology Patients and their Families, we want to take an opportunity to thank you for providing financial support to these families while they are receiving treatment at West Virginia University Children's Hospital.... As you know, this provides assistance in the way of gas cards, meal cards, transportation, lodging and other personal items. It then gives our families the ability to concentrate on their ill child and treatment issues rather than worrying about how they are going to afford gas or other basic needs"

"On Behalf of the children with cancer and their families who are treated at WVU Children's Hospital, I want to thank you for the work that you are doing to alleviate some of the burdens these families face during treatment. Frequently families find themselves traveling long distances on a weekly basis to and from our institution without the financial means to pay for gas for their vehicles. In addition, families might either have frequent or extended hospital stays with their ill child and need assistance with the cost of meals each day. By providing for a family's basic needs through Timmy's Fund, the family is better able to concentrate on caring for their ill child and the family as a whole. I look forward to Jointly working with Timmy's Fund in the future on behalf of the children and families we serve."

"A special thanks for all your help... We have worked all of our lives and we now have a full time job taking care of our grandson (until he gets better). We have to take him to Ruby weekly (or more) for treatments and care.... I have taken a leave from work (worked there for 23 years). My husband's business is really slow in the winter. Your fund has helped us so much. we hope (if our lives become normal again) to help repay or help others the same way!!.. God bless you!"
