” I just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful weekend you provided my family! We loved our room at the Ameristar! The boys were blown away with the view of the river (and that our bathroom had a TV in it LOL)!
We started our vacation with dinner at Dairy Queen with the gift card. We spent time in the arcade with the boys at the Ameristar. We all went swimming in the beautiful pool and took a dip in the hot tub. We went to Denny’s on 5th Street Friday morning and met the most wonderful server! He was wonderful to the boys and really made a great impression on our family. We decided to go back to Denny’s the following morning hoping he was working. He was and we had an equally positive experience. We took the boys shopping on Main Street in St. Charles. Dan and I played the slots for a bit on Thursday night. We both decided it would be fun to take the boys to Main Street. We only lost about $6 total in a couple hours of playing. We used the gift card you gave us and all got small gifts from different stores. It was so much fun!
Thank you so very much for all you do! This was a wonderful weekend vacation that we never could have afforded. We are so blessed and grateful to you and all the donors at Stella’s Wish! Don’t be surprised if you start hearing from more people. We were all talking about it in the treatment room on Friday during chemo.
We love you all!
