KIND WORDS
ERIE SINGLE FATHER
"I cannot adequately express my appreciation for Erie UpLink's financial assistance for my family's needs.....when they truly most needed it. I thank all of you for touching my family and I with your kindness."
K.C. ERIE HS
The Tiger Packs and Christmas stocking have been so helpful. I am grateful we have groups like Erie Uplink who care about others who are struggling. They have made such a difference by doing a couple small things that influence others to do great too.
ERIE SINGLE MOTHER
I want to thank you for the winter wear for the girls! On a day like today it is such a relief to know they have adequate clothing for the cold. This is a blessing we have not had for quite a few years, so thank you very much.
ERIE TEACHER
THANK YOU!!! The look on her [second grade student’s] face sure made my heart happy! Thank you so much for getting her a pair of tennis shoes for PE…now she has her very own pair when she comes to class. Thank you for all you do for the Erie community!
ERIE FAMILY
The girls' happiness is bursting with great gratitude – for making our home a better and safer place to live. The love and sense of security has positively changed the atmosphere here in our home. They also thank you for giving them their own space that holds all their toys, plus is comfy and cozy. But mostly because you cared.
A.M. AGE 11
I am so thankful that I will get to go to football camp this summer! I have been really sick and when I got out of the hospital I went to foster care. I started getting healthy and active again. Football camp will make me better and I will be the best I can. I have never been on a team before and I really want to be apart of a team. Thank you for giving me this opportunity!
