I wanted to thank Z Care for all the great things that is does for this community. Specifically, I want to thank you for the donation we received in the form of gas cards at Christmas time last year. Our daughter was diagnosed with Leukemia almost a year ago. Ever since then her grandparents, who live in Texas, have been trying to find a way to see her to make sure with their own eyes that she is okay and to give her lots of “grandma and grandpa” hugs and kisses. Due to their own health issues they were not able to make it up here this year so we decided that if Raylin’s health permitted it, we would visit them in Texas at Christmas time. With the doctor’s okay and the gift of the gas cards, we were able to go to Texas and spend time with them. It was an awesome vacation for us as it allowed us to take our minds off of all the dr. appointments and clinic trips lately. It was awesome for Raylin’s grandparents because they finally got to see her in person since her diagnosis and reassure themselves that in the long run she’ll be okay. For that, I thank you. Sincerely,

Nicole Cooksey

Thank You from Debbie Mason (Mother of Josh)

I would like to once again thank Zcare for the donation we received in May in memory of our son, Josh Mason. It was touching and very much appreciated. Josh was 22 when he left our world. He was a physical and adaptive education major at UWL. Despite being, very healthy and physically fit, he suffered a massive stroke.

The PEM (Physical Education Majors) club at UWL is sponsoring the “Joggin’ for Josh” team that will participate in the Turkey Trot this Saturday. They will be sporting light blue “Joggin’ for Josh” t-shirts and custom made “Mohawk” style stocking hats. The hats were specially made by me and a group of friends and co-workers from Sun Prairie. It is my understanding that this might be the largest single team in this year’s event. Please watch and cheer for anyone sporting the “Joggin’ for Josh” t-shirt and Mohawk hat.

More than $11,000 in donations was received in Josh’s memory from friends, family and our other two son’s employers. The donations were conveyed to three La Crosse area charities. The charities that Josh assisted and benefitted from the donations were Miracle League, Special Olympics and Physical Activity Mentoring Program for Children with Disabilities University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Foundation.

We were and still are deeply grateful for the compassion shown by Zcare and so many others during the worst time of our lives.

With sincere gratitude,

Debbie Mason

I would like to take the time to give you guys a HUGE thank you for your support and giving to the benefit that was held for me on December 10th. It amazes me how warm and thoughtful of a community we live in! Your donation helped me get caught up on bills and when i received the letter, it touched my heart. Thank you again and please give your listeners a big shout out and a big thank you from me personally for being there for me during my trying times. I have another Dr. appointment on the 4th of January. A new year and I am hoping this last surgery worked and I can start off the New year in the right way. Again, thanks so much for your support, generosity, and caring ways.
Much Love and Respect, Tina Trueblood

I cannot Thank You enough for your generosity … It was above and beyond and appreciated so much. We are sending Jenniffer and Zeb the check on Thursday.

But, she has so many people rooting for her, loving her and praying for her! Thanks to you and your wonderful charity, Z-Care, her mommy and daddy will feel a little less stressed and be able to focus more on her recovery.

Again, thank you, thank you, thank you. You are amazing. Truly amazing.

Sincerely, Sara

Donation Benefit Fund for Zac Vichich

brittanys — Sun, 16 Jan 2011 16:52:45 +0000

Zachary Vichich was diagnosed with a kidney disease called Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy in 2006. The only way to put the disease in remission is to undergo harsh chemotherapy/immunosuppresant treatments. Zac has been through four rounds of immunosuppresant/ chemotherapy treatments. Both the treatments as well as the disease itself cause severe side effects that make daily activities difficult, so Zac cannot work. His insurance benefits were abruptly stopped, so he is currrently appealing the insurance company’s decision.
