I also endorse your recipients for the raffle!  I have known them for more than 30 years, I think, since back in USAF days. It's fitting to help such giving people when they in turn can use a hand.  Thanks to all that pitched in!
I knew I shoulda re-tied!!

Okay, you got us.... :surrender:  :surrender:  I spent 30 minutes on the phone with FD explaining that we are okay, our lights are on, our house note is paid, the water still flows. FD had good arguments, and finally convinced me I'm not going to win...

Laurie and I are still in shock, dismay, and a little bit of we really don't deserve this. We've enjoyed giving so much and it feels selfish that we are taking this time. We've had a really tough year, medically, financially, and mentally. That doesn't make us special, we all have tough years and we just needed to survive ours.

I'm not going to lie, after FD made me see the light, maybe (no definitely) we could use the help. Laurie and I are honored that the UB Family selected us this year. It's definitely going to help put us back on track.

FD got us some funds tonight and we'll be able to make for a brighter Christmas for the grandkids. We as a family, grandkids included, understood that this year was going to be a little lite on presents but we'd have each other and plenty of love. Thanks to all of the UB family, we can put a little Santa back in Christmas for these teenagers we're trying to raise.

Thank You isn't a big enough set of words. I know now how hard it is for the folks we've help over the years to struggle for the words. UB is a special group of people, Laurie and I are privileged to call all of you family. I wish there was a way to express how truly blessed we feel right now. UB has yet again put another family in a much better place.

Thank You!!!
Merry Christmas
