On July 1st last year at the fundraiser, they surprised us with $1800.00 in Save On Foods gift cards! They also promised us that they would continue to support Zach. True to their word, on March 24th, 2012 Save On Foods opened up The Brand New Spruce Grove Location. We were invited to attend the opening of this beautiful store. They held a silent Auction for Zach and raised $3000.00! The Silent Auction items were AMAZING and we are humbled by the generous support of this
community we live in.

I can tell you one thing, accepting these generous gifts does NOT get easier. It puts a lump in our throats and our hearts overflow with thankfulness. For so long we felt alone in this battle. I just wanted to find another family somewhere who had a child with the same disease as Zach. I thought that would make it easier. However, God saw fit to give us a child with a disease that truly is "one of a kind". Then, He surrounded us with a supportive community that has blessed us far and above what we could ever imagine.
Thank you for your prayers, your love, support and generosity.
May God Bless you, everyone!
