Your Gift Helped Us!

"Our family is so grateful that the YMCA scholarship program was there when we needed it most. These experiences would not have been possible without these crucial contributions. We cannot thank you enough for helping us do the best for our family."

"Thank you YMCA for your assistance and incredible support of our family's needs! We have had a great many trials this past year. Our lives have been turned upside down with my husband's illness and the special needs of our two young preschool children."

"We are so grateful for the community we have found at the YMCA. It has been a huge emotional support for our boys during these turbulent times. The swimming and soccer lessons have enriched the boys' self-esteem and taught them valuable skills. The programs at camp have allowed them to enjoy the outdoors and have fun just being kids."

"The YMCA's financial assistance program has allowed my child to benefit from a camp experience, developing memories that will last a lifetime. Without the financial assistance program, I would not be able to afford this lifelong treasure for my child. Thank you for allowing my child such a wonderful opportunity. You have made a positive difference for my family."

"I had just separated, had no job and did not know where we were going to live. My daughter and I were in the middle of so many changes. The Y was our only constant at that time and we were not going to be able to afford it. The Y decided to give my daughter and me the opportunity to continue at the Y until we could get back on our feet. Everyone there was so supportive. When we got reestablished, we gladly donated back to the Y so the kindness could be passed on to others. In a world that often seems excessively focused on the bottom line, our community has an organization that is successful as well as abundant in heart."

"Deepest appreciation for letting Emma stay for another week of camp. It is wonderful to know that she's having such a good time, and everyone at the YMCA has been so wonderful to our family in the last two years. You literally had me in tears today at your generosity. It has been very difficult to ask for financial aid but I would do it every day for my kids if I had to! I really value the dignity you have treated my family and I with. I can't say enough good things about the Y. I know that it is really a labor of love."
