Thanks from Kevin

March 15, 2021

Hello John Shapiro’s Superheroes,

We would like this opportunity to say thank you, for your help and your generosity. Our 15-year-old son Kevin was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in the bone of his left arm. He started with chemotherapy on July 2, 2020 in Philadelphia Children’s Hospital, it has been a difficult process. He has suffered loss of mobility in his arm because the tumor damaged a lot of muscle and after surgery to remove the tumor he has lost muscle and now has a metal prosthesis. He was approved for physical therapy to regain movement in the arm, and he still continues in the chemotherapy process. Thank you again for your generosity in these difficult times.

Sincerely:
Kevin’s Parents

“l am the mother of a beautiful little girl named Julia! Julia was diagnosed with B-cell ALL back in March of this year. It has been a long year of tough treatments.

This gift helped us purchase Christmas gifts for Julia and other family members. I truly cannot thank you enough for how much your gift helped us this holiday season! We are beyond blessed that organizations like you exist!

Thank you!
