Review for Erica Raes Kids Inc, Aurora, CO, USA
My daughter passed away 8 years ago, she inspires me to give back in her name.
Make A Difference Day was one of the most humbling experience I've ever had. To start, I had the opportunity to personally meet some amazing “homeless” people who live on the streets of Denver, they were the true meaning of love and family.
Perhaps what I will remember most is the smiles on the faces of both the children and adults. It was like Christmas came early.
It's hard to put into words how I felt, but I do know this—as a country we may have forgotten to take care of the men and women that fought for the freedom of this country. I guess I never knew how many of our vets are living on the streets. I can't tell you how many hugs I received along with plenty of thank you for giving to them in ways they had never received before. I'm still taken back at how amazing this day was. It will be forever engraved in my heart.
I give to Erica Rae's Kids because even though we are small we give back to our community in a big way.
Review for K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers, Inc., New York, NY, USA
Because of KIDS Donate Product we were able to participate on Make A Difference Day which was one of the most humbling experience I've ever had. Met some pretty amazing people who live on the streets of Denver. Thier proud, some welcomed the hand up but some were very stand offish worried that someone else may need it more than them. The smiles on the little faces were priceless, it was like Christmas came early. It's hard to put into words how I feel at this moment. I can't tell you how many hugs we got with just simple thank yous for being so kind. One lady grabbed me up and buried her head into my shoulder and wept. She let me know that she has never received the amount of help that was given to her. I'm still taken back at how amazing this day was. It will be forever engraved in my heart.
We would Like to send out a "HUGE THANK YOU" to KIDS Donate Product for making this day so special. Thank you, for partnering us with OshKosh, Carters, Crazy 8s, Gymboree and Mattel. Because of all you do our work becomes a lot easier.
