Testimonial

This letter is to express our appreciation for the recent notification that your award for my wife Ruth for 2008-2009 has been increased to $8,000. This news comes at a most welcome time given the difficulties of our economy in general, our personal financial situation, and Ruth’s daily struggle with MDS and the iron overload that comes with transfusions every two weeks. We are most grateful for your generosity and that of your donors. With your assistance, Ruth’s iron overload has been reduced significantly. Thank you for the good work you do.

—Frank, Valley, NE
