I can’t say enough about the dragonfly foundation. Being a dragonfly family they have done so much for our family in our darkest days. They helped us see the light through the darkness through support, events, gifts, beautiful cards and a place to land like the landing. A smile on my grandchild means the world and I can’t say thank you enough. To all the volunteers who work tremendously hard day and night to help make magic happen for so many kids and their families and our family thank you we love you and all you do each and everyday =|=
