"On behalf of Jessa and her family we would like to express our gratitude for the opportunity you have given us and the memories you allowed us to create with our dear LadyBug as her exhausting journey comes to its end. The commitment and urgency you have shown to make this happen for us is greatly appreciated. We were able to recognize how dedicated and sincere this foundation is to families such as us. We share a journey and perspective that most people do not and it is heartwarming to know that so many families do not let these unfortunate circumstances defeat them. Your strength to build these opportunities in the name of Lauren is such an admirable feat that we have drawn inspiration from.
Thank you dearly for what you have done for this family.
