I don’t even know how to start.
I have had the best loving kindest experiences with your Ground Angels. Having had to travel alone and being financially unable to afford cab fares, your Ground Angels are such a blessing. I feel as though we never fight a war alone---I feel as though you all are a part of the team that will lead me to a victory.
Your Angels are always so kind and caring.
Thank you all for all you do.
God Bless

While I personally celebrate six years cancer free, I am reminded daily that the battle to beat cancer is far from over.
In the last year I have had several friends who were newly diagnosed with cancer and went through nightmarish treatments.
Every time I accept a volunteer 'mission' with Houston Ground Angels I am reminded that cancer never sleeps. These folks have graciously shared with me how cancer has taken great tolls on them and their families that are physically, emotionally and financially devastating.
But often I hear about how their cancers are being beaten. New treatments are being developed everyday and several people have told me that their treatments, some still in the experimental stages, seem to be working. Isn't that great?!!
I will be walking the survivor lap again this year along with my husband and daughter and as our way to show our continuing gratitude and support. I invite you to join us in anyway you choose whether it be a monetary donation or sending prayers and good mojos that continued progress be made in the "battle of the beast".
I humbly thank you, my friends, from the bottom of my heart.

The attached check is a small token of my appreciation for your friendliness, support and physically taking me to and from M.D. Anderson and to and from the airports.
Your picking me up makes me feel like I have a friend in Houston and makes the treatments at M.D. Anderson less daunting.
Thanks again.

March 20, 2012 I know that most of your work is done on line but, I am not real good with computers. I just had to drop a line to say "GOD BLESS YOU ALL".
My final trip to MDACC was so hard we did not understand how far it was from airport to motels and we were already strapped for cash after 5 months of this paying from $75.00 to and from for each trip a cost of $150-$180 two times a month
I didn't think we could continue to come to MDACC and they were helping me so much.
Then a maid at the motel told me about "the angels". Now I have met four of them and each has been a blessing & they are all so different & wonderful.

February 24, 2012 Dear friends
Today would have been my husband's sixty six birthday. We lost him on October 21, 2011, but for seven months prior to that we were able to fight the good fight. There are no words to adequately thank your angels ( and they are really are angels) for their gifts to us. When the rest of our life was caving in around us, it was a comfort to sit back & relax and leave the logistics of transportation to someone else.
Please accept this small token in memory of Gary Stamp (Iowa).

In the summer of 2010, my family had need of your kind services.We will be eternally grateful for all you did for us.
Although my late wife's treatments at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center were unsuccessful, we will always appreciate the efforts your organization did for us.
Please find enclosed a small token of our appreciation, a check to further your kind efforts.
We Remain,

January 28, 2012 Dear Houston Ground Angels,
It is hard to put into words the appreciation I feel towards the Ground Angels who helped Dad and I navigate unfamiliar places. Coming from a small town in Southeast Kansas to the Houston area was a bit stressful for both of us.
You made us feel cared for and safe. For that,
I can't thank you enough.
Bless all of you and the work you do.
