2002
- Recipient Rob Graves
on behalf of the late Michelle Graves
"I
will never forget sitting at home after spending a hot day in
the parking lot of the church. I was totally exhausted, but elated
at the same time. We felt so overwhelmed with the love shown not
in words, but in deeds. All the people that worked so hard and
did so much just for us left us staggered and numb. It wasn't
about the money raised, but the fact that people cared enough
to labor under the hot sun for hours for our benefit. It is still
unbelievable." Michelle lost her 25 year battle with Lupus
on May 8, 2005, but is now home with the Lord and free from all
pain and suffering.
2003
- John & Kay Zinn
"In 2003 we had problems paying for
perscription drugs for a kidney transplant. The amount of money
raised by COB helped us to get back on our feet financially so
that we could live normal lives. We are so grateful to COB, St.
John's UCC and our community for the help they gave us that day."
2004-
Lori Hersh
"
I've been doing very well since the benefit. My doctors from New
York have given me a clean bill of health with my amalyoidosis,
although I have started on dialysis at night-time so I can work
part time during the day. I've even gone back to school to become
a real estate appraiser. I feel very blessed. The help and support
from COB really lifted me and my family back up when we needed
it. Now my family and I want to give back through COB."
2005-
Reller Thomas & Wife Mitzi
"Reller's
transplanted kidney continues to function perfectly. Even though
his doctors are puzzled by his blood sugars, his transplanted
pancreas is producing great amounts of sugar. Your amazing spirit
of "Community Outreach" has enabled us to be current
in all our finances, and for this we are truly grateful."
2005 - Sue
Washko and Husband Dan
"Dan
and I are very grateful for all that St. John's has done for us.
Since the benefit, I had been doing well until last month when
I was hospitalized with congestive heart failure. While I was
in the hospital, I was thinking alot about COB and the wonderful
support I received. I shared my COB story with the nurses and
they were so impressed. They said is was the most beautiful thing
they had ever heard." |
