The following letter was received from Medfield Youth Outreach regarding this year's Angel Tree program.
To all who fulfilled a wish through the Medfield Youth Outreach Angel Tree:
How do we begin to tell you how you all have blessed others this year? What
may seem like fulfilling a request on the Angel Tree is really so much more.
You have provided love in a tangible way to families who have experienced
stress and hardship and have resiliently prevailed. Your care serves as
recognition that their efforts to get through hard times are not unnoticed. It
is an encouragement that we feel as each family came to pick up their gifts.
Although a humbling and hard experience for many, there is also the gratitude
that comes forward from each family. Folks feeling so touched that someone
who has never met them really cares.
Our voice mail is full with thanks. Cards have come in. The best thanks
remains the actual load we see lifted as folks pick up their gifts and the stress
melts away in their faces as a huge smile comes forth. We can't really put it
into words, but...maybe you can imagine it if someone has blessed you in ways
unexpected.
Thank you for paying whatever blessings you have been given forward in this
way. It is always incredible to behold.
May 2014 bring you and yours many moments of grace and kindness.
Sincerely,
Dawn Alcott, LICSW
