“I can’t thank you enough for helping me and my baby girl. My recovery is challenging but lying with Fancy Mae leaning against me makes it so much easier. My husband and I have helped others in their times of need. It’s very unexpected to be on the other side and for our family to need or receive all this help. I will be forever grateful. Thank you from Fancy Mae and from our whole family.”

Everyone involved with Ellie’s Rainy Day Fund is a blessing! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”

“When the vet told us that Ellie's Rainy Day Fund had agreed to help Starbucks, we wept. We'd exhausted basically everything we had, and we were both so scared we were going to have to let him go because of the cost. I don't know how to sufficiently express the gratitude we have. I'm still in a state of stunned disbelief.”
