Thank you doesn’t begin to express what this care box has meant to me.  You care. I write this note in tears.  Good ones.   Do you even know how long it has been since I have been able to say that?  I have felt so alone on my cancer journey.  I sometimes feel like I am just a number on a chart, then I received your care box.  I love the name on the box!  “Resilience Care Box!”  For the first time since my diagnosis I didn’t feel alone.  To see the notes left by people who cared enough to have a part in my care box brought me to tears.   As I sit here in my chair recovering from chemo, I am wrapped up in the prayer quilt, knowing I was prayed for and I am holding on tight to the stuffed Mabel dog. Gosh I love her!  I am wearing my necklace from the box and don’t think I will ever take it off.  I didn’t have snacks for all day chemo, but your bag of snacks got me through the day.  And I even wore my socks that told me I could do all things through Christ every time I looked at them!  The entire box has so much meaning, but most of all love.  It’s like I opened up a box of many people showing love and care.  Thank you for praying for me.  Thank you for reminding me I am not just a number on a chart, but there really are people out there who care about me and I am not alone.  God Bless You and each person who had a part in this box.

Lisa's book has brought such joy and encouragement to me! On days that I have felt a little down and needed a lift in my spirit, her book has been an inspiration! When I have been tempted to focus on myself and have a pity party, I read about Lisa's journey and suddenly the little trials that seemed huge, don't seem so overwhelming any more. It has caused me to choose to focus on the good instead of the not so good circumstances. I recommend this book to anyone who can read...or can have it read to them.

I hope that Lisa and her mother's story can touch an ever-growing number of lives through the words in this book... Amazing!
