Messages of Gratitude

"When the doctors told us Maria had cancer, our world collapsed. We had nothing — no money, no hope. Adonai's Mercy House gave us both. They paid for her chemotherapy when we couldn't afford a single peso. Today, Maria is in remission. She plays again. She laughs again. You gave us our daughter back."

"We sold everything — our house, our land, even my wedding ring. It still wasn't enough. Then strangers from across the ocean paid for Joshua's surgery. We will never meet you, but we pray for you every night. You are our angels."

"I am a single mother. I work as a laundrywoman. When Angela got sick, I thought God had abandoned us. But He sent you. The meals, the medicine, the blood transfusions — all paid for by people who don't even know my daughter's face. Thank you for seeing her."

"My son lost his eye to cancer. But he did not lose his life. Because of your generosity, Miguel received the surgery and treatment he needed. He calls his glass eye his 'superhero eye.' You made my boy feel like a hero, not a victim."

"Sofia dreams of being a teacher. When cancer took her leg, she thought her dreams were over. But Adonai's Mercy House gave her a prosthetic and the courage to keep dreaming. She now tutors younger children in the ward. Your gift gave her purpose."

"Every peso you gave became hope. Every dollar stretched into weeks of treatment. Daniel finished his chemotherapy last month. The doctors say he is clear. I cannot stop crying as I write this. These are tears of gratitude."

"The surgery cost more than we would earn in ten lifetimes. We had accepted that we would lose our Isabella. Then Mercy House called. They said the surgery was paid for. We collapsed in each other's arms. Today, Isabella is healing. You performed the impossible."

"Ethan was only two when diagnosed. He has spent more time in hospitals than at home. But because of your support, he has a chance. Every blood transfusion, every meal, every night with a roof — you provided it all. He is fighting. We are fighting. Because you fight with us."

"I borrowed from everyone I knew. I begged on the streets. Nothing was enough. Then Mercy House found us. They didn't just pay for treatment — they restored my dignity. They treated my Gabrielle like she mattered. Because to you, she does."

"My wife died during childbirth. Christian is all I have. When he got cancer, I was ready to follow her. But your kindness reminded me that strangers can become family. Christian is my life. You saved my life by saving his."

"I named her Princess Joy because she brought joy to our poor home. Cancer tried to take that joy away. But you — donors from places I cannot pronounce — you kept her joy alive. She still smiles. She still dances. Because of you."

"My son wants to be a basketball player. Cancer attacked his leg. We thought his dreams were dead. But the doctors saved his leg because you paid for advanced treatment. He shoots hoops again. Every basket he makes, he makes for you."

"They said six months. That was two years ago. Your donations paid for treatments that gave us more time — more birthdays, more Christmases, more 'I love you, Mama.' Every extra day is a gift from you. Thank you for the gift of time."

"The hospital was going to send us home because we couldn't pay. Mercy House intervened. They said no child should die because of poverty. Luis finished treatment last week. He is alive because you believe every child deserves a chance."

"I named her Heaven because she was my blessing from above. When cancer came, I thought Heaven was being called back. But your generosity kept her here with me. She calls her donors her 'guardian angels.' You are. You truly are."
