Shannon L.

Thank you Rob for making Maya’s birthday so  special. She was so excited going and picking out all of the birthday gifts! She was overwhelmed, excited, crying, and laughing every time she put something in the basket! She kept saying is this real mommy? God bless you Rob! Maya kept saying over and over God bless you Rob!

A lady nearby overheard and said it brought her to tears because she said her children get 10 times that for their birthdays and do not even appreciate it a tenth of what Maya did.  She said I was so blessed to have Maya and her genuine sweetness and how much she could tell she loved you Rob. I told her about your organization and all We Care has done. She said God Bless everyone that donates and blessings to everyone. I wanted you to know this.

Hi Rob,

I wanted to thank you again for adopting us for Easter. We came home and opened a treasure trove of meats, capri suns, cereals, peanut butter, spaghetti noodles sauce. We were amazed at the fruit, the nutella that I know is expensive but very healthy. The bread, the pancake mix everything down to the beautiful card and gift cards to be able buy food for Easter and baskets for the kids!!!!!!! I was crying because of the compassion and love the people putting together the basket did for us.

WeCare is amazing and so are all the people that go shopping and putting these baskets together. God bless all that are involved in everything, down to the filling of the baskets to the shopping, the time it takes to do all the running around the money that goes into all of it. The beautiful flower arrangement that was on the boxes again the card that was so beautiful! My children were just looking at everything and said all the thought and preparation that goes into this. You have blessed a family and made us feel important and loved. What more do human beings need. A neighbor to reach out their hand and offer help and not just walk by.

Again God Bless All Of You!

Rob,

I just wanted to express, once again, our gratitude and appreciation for what your organization has just done for us. For people to go out of their way to help us through a difficult time financially is a bright light that shines during a very dark time of our lives. I have spent countless hours combing over bills, documents, emails and legal documents …trying to make sense of how deep this financial hole really is. As I mentioned earlier in your office, both my wife and I have been humbled by the realization that we took so much for granted and were irresponsible on many levels prior to losing our jobs. If we genuinely received only what we deserved, I don’t think any person or organization could help us with food, rent and utility bills. That’s what makes this gift so unsettling for me personally …because I feel we could have made better, less selfish decisions with our money in the months and years leading up to our recent downfall.

So, that look of exhaustion and despair on my face was also mixed with a lot of shame. I feel with the education and experience my wife and I have attained over the years, there is no excuse for people like us to be where we are today. I don’t say that out of pride …I say it out of humility. We need to do much better, and we must take nothing for granted in life.

With that said, it says a lot about you and your organization when you choose to look past a person’s defects and simply accept them for who they are, regardless of their faults reinforced by a trail of bad decisions that led them to walk through your doors in the first place. When I first met you, my tail we truly between my legs. I was defeated. It is very possible that, by the end of August, we will have recovered financially due to some early lucky breaks I am getting in my new job. Nothing is certain, but things are looking up. But when I finally do start getting my unemployment and eventually start earning good commissions from my new employer, our perspective on money and
how we spend it has changed forever for the better. And, perhaps, we can find a way to give back to those who gave so freely to us without judging us on any level. You should know …At no time did me or my wife feel judged or criticized by you or anyone else we had contact with at We Care. I can’t thank you enough for treating us with respect and dignity, even though our financial situation did not reflect those traits.

Rob, thank you again for the blessings you bestowed on my family today. I am forever grateful and I hope that, someday soon, I can somehow pay it forward to someone else in need. I will keep you updated on our progress throughout the month. In the meantime, feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.

God Bless and have a great day, sir.

Rob,

I don’t know how you were able to do what you did and I don’t know why you chose to do it but I cannot tell you how appreciative my family and I are. It has been a very tough 18 months of unemployment but I am so happy to be employed again. You have made a very trying time so much less troublesome. My wife’s father was just diagnosed with cancer and we are not sure how much longer he has, and my daughter is just getting over pneumonia and I can’t begin to tell you all the financial trouble that has come about because of my unemployment.

Thank you again for what you and your organization chose to do for us. You never once made us feel like we were inconveniencing you or that we were pathetic in any way and I can’t tell you enough how appreciative we are of your professionalism. Thank you again for the rental assistance, toys, food, diapers, (etc.) and signing us up for possible help during the holidays. I pray that God richly blesses you and your organization. Thank you again so very much ! I hope to be able to help your organization in some way very soon. Whether that be with my time or money.
