Thank you to Mr. Richard Volz, Mr. Manoj Moorjani and Mr. Chuck Hays for your generous monetary donation. You were the first to make a donation on Sidney’s behalf to her COTA account. Your donation was very heartfelt! You truly were the reason Sidney was able to be here in Florida when a donor became available. May God bless you and your families.

When we first moved into our new apartment here, the day of Sidney’s transplant surgery, we literally spent our first few days and nights here with nothing. Katey Stine, her daughter and Sandi Mokher pulled together many household necessities and groceries, and were so kind as to deliver them to us. Our family appreciates your kindness and that of your neighbors and friends who contributed. Thank you!

Thank you for all the wonderful cards, letters, prayers and gifts you have sent to Sidney and our family. Sidney’s room is full of beautiful colors and lots of love! The cards and gifts sent for Summer and Samantha have made them feel very special during this time too. For these special sentiments our family would like to acknowledge:

Thank you to Deb Crumine, Miss Tanya and Miss Jennifer and Samantha’s Preschool class at Funshine for the fabulous package you sent for Miss Sidney and Miss Samantha. You made Samantha feel on top of the world. She was giddy with excitement seeing the pictures of her and her friends from class, and reading the letter they all signed for her. She’s still enjoying all fun the projects. They have kept both Sam and I busy (and even Sidney too), and Samantha’s projects and pictures continue to decorate Sidney’s room. The Loving Lullabies CD is not only a favorite to Sidney, but many of her nurses as well. You wonderful ladies have been a blessing in our family’s lives.

Thank you to Northwest Airlines for donating flights for Rick, Sidney and me, to and from Miami for Sidney’s initial consultation. It was this consultation that gave Sidney her official placement on the transplant waiting list.

Thank you to Carol Hollen, Community Relations, for your commitment to our family in arranging our flights. You even went as far as to make yourself available by cell phone so we’d be able to reach you at anytime. Time after time you’ve been there for us when we needed rearrangements for return flights, and you always made it happen. You’re thoughtful and kind, a women whom our family appreciates dearly.

ONTRACK DATA RECOVERY


Thank you to Traci Bernatchy and OnTrack Data Recovery.

My hard drive crashed and I was devastated. All of Sidney’s medical records and data, as well as our family’s treasured photos were lost to me. At least I thought they were. Traci and OnTrack Data Recovery donated their services to our family and were able to recover all of my files and pictures.

This donation is priceless to our family. Thank you.  www.ontrackdatarecovery.com

Precision Auto Collision Center of Shakopee

Your generous donation to me and our family on Sidney’s behalf was heartfelt and greatly appreciated. You not only made the necessary repairs to my car, but you went above and beyond for me on behalf of all three of my daughters.

My car hasn’t looked as beautiful as it does now since the day I bought it, and not only did you beautify it, but you also made sure that every potential service issue was checked, for the safety of my family.

You and your guys went even further beyond to donate the labor charges on Sidney’s behalf.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank You!

Tim, your daughter is one of God’s angels who gave the gift of life to others. She’s amazing and selfless and lives on. I know your angel is watching over mine.

WCCO

 

A very special thank you to WCCO!

When our struggles with Sidney and her insurance first began you were there for our family. Your initial interest and airing of Sidney’s story provided our family with a tremendous amount of support from others during a time when we needed it most. It gave us strength to fight for the medical treatment and insurance coverage Sidney needed in order to save her life.

You sparked politicians and state agencies to become involved. The airing of Sidney’s story created an atmosphere where the insurance companies were held accountable for their decisions and their actions. I believe in my heart that Sidney wouldn’t be here with out your support. Sidney’s life is priceless and our family will be eternally grateful for all the support you’ve given us. The follow up stories have been wonderful as well. We look forward to sharing them with Sidney someday.

Maya Nishikawa, Esme Murphy, Alexis (the Intern), Jordan and all the very fabulous camera men we have the pleasure of meeting, THANK YOU!!! You have all had an impact on our family and Sidney’s life.
