Every so often, we receive messages that stop us in our tracks—not because they’re long or polished, but because they’re honest. They hold real life: hope, struggle, faith, and resilience. These are the moments that remind us why community matters, and why this mission matters.
This Gratitude Gallery is a collection of real reviews and experiences shared with us recently—voices from people who took a moment to encourage our family, affirm the mission, and remind us that better days are possible.
🌟 “Even if I don’t win, it will be nice to know that someone else is getting to experience the joy I have been imagining… The main satisfaction is knowing that some of the money raised goes to help the cause for your precious son… I am praying for him.”
— Patricia V.
Patricia’s message is a powerful blend of empathy and selflessness. She shared what “life-changing” could mean for her family, yet still centered the greater purpose—supporting research and children like Luke. Her words reflect the heart of this community: dreaming, giving, and caring deeply for others along the way.
🌟 “Any win would be a dream… Either way, it supports a great cause, so everyone wins… [a chance] to possibly win something that’s life changing.”
— Jim M.
Jim captured something we see again and again: the recognition that impact matters even beyond the outcome. His message is a reminder that generosity can hold both hope and purpose—and that supporting a cause can feel meaningful no matter what happens next.
🌟 “Prayers for your beautiful family. May God bless you with his love, with strength, motivation, and peace.”
— Fatima A.
Fatima’s note is short, but it carries real comfort. Strength. Peace. Motivation. Love. These are the things families facing rare disease and vision loss need most—and her words reflect a deep kindness that’s felt immediately, even through a screen.
🌟 “Being blind from birth in one eye, I can get behind this movement for sure! You guys are doing great for your child as well as other children.”
— Seth K.
Seth’s message is especially meaningful because it comes from lived experience. His support reminds us that this mission reaches people who understand vision loss firsthand—and that advocacy matters, not just for one child, but for many families who share this fight.
🌟 “Your giveaway means so much to me. It represents hope. Opportunity. A chance to stand on my own two feet… Thank you for reading my story and giving people like me a reason to believe that better days are possible.”
— Mariska
Mariska shared her story with courage and honesty. Her words are a reminder that hope is not abstract—it’s practical. It’s transportation to school. The ability to work. Independence. Safety. A chance to keep building a future. We’re grateful she trusted us with her experience, and we’re holding her story with great care.
