We want to thank everyone for the generous gift certificate our family received for the holidays. It sure helps with groceries and a few extras.  I keep fighting this terrible disease every day despite is metastasis from breast, lung, brain and now kidney. I will continue to fight for myself and my sons.  May God Bless You All!

I just received your very special check for my rent payment. I can’t thank you enough.  It was very special, kind and generous of you and very much appreciated. Next month is my birthday and I will be 73 years young.  To me this is a birthday gift from you.  I’m sure I’m talking for all of us cancer patients when I say that Seymour Pink is always there ot help us in our hour of need.  Thank God there are also very kind and special people in our world who donate to all the cancer organizations out there, so they can help all of us when we need some help financially.

God Bless All Of You At Seymour Pink

Thank you so much all of you at Seymour pink for your help with our oil bill. I didn’t know how we were going to pay it. With all the expenses from the months of cancer treatments, we got so behind and we still are paying our mortgage so this generous help is so very much appreciated thank you all so very much.

Dear friends at Seymour Pink,
I know it’s been a while since I received your very loving and generous gifts. I had what I hope to be my last of two surgeries on December 18th. I want to thank you so much for the gift card for the holidays. How it helped and totally brightened my day – knowing you think and care about me is nothing short of Angels.
I say thank you for the money towards my back rent which literally saved me from losing my apartment. Thank you seems so redundant for all the generous and loving help you have given me. You help me to believe that throughout all this darkness there is a light from your loving help that makes me go on.
With love and gratitude –

I don’t know where to being.  Thank you a million times over for all that you amazing, loving, cheerful people do.  The financial assistance is greatly appreciated.  It has helped with making my second round of reconstruction a little less stressful.  I also would like to extend a warm thank you for all the support each one of you have provided emotionally.  Even though we are far from family, we feel like we have become a part of a bigger family with Seymour Pink.  My husband and I cannot thank you enough for your unwavering support during one of the hardest times in our lives.

Thank you again!

Dear Seymour Pink,

My husband and I would like to Thank you for helping us out financially by sending the checks to Yale Medicine and Griffin Hospital for my bills.  We cannot being to express our gratitude enough for your organization.

I am also very grateful for all of your support by keeping my informed of meetings with other Cancer survivors.  It helps to be able to talk with someone who is or has gone through cancer treatments.

It is very rare in this day and age that there are people who truly care, are concerned, committed and give time and effort to help those less fortunate than them. Seymour Pink stands above the rest in all these ways and you do it unconditionally and from the heart. You make each person that you help feel special and deserving of the financial aid which you award to so many people in need.

Thank-you so much again for the gift card.  I just had my reconstruction done on 11/10 so I’m out of work again 🙁  This gift card truly helps so much.  Thank you again.

Words cannot express the joy, surprise, and shock I felt when I received the gift card over the Thanksgiving holiday.  I truly believed I was forgotten about.  Thank you for keeping my son and I in your thoughts.

Thank you for the support you have given me on this journey.  The gift card is greatly appreciated.  Sending you and your staff at Seymour Pink a Thanksgiving blessing.

During this journey, I’m blessed with wonderful family and friends who forever changed me.  I don’t know if you know how much you HELPED ME on days when I felt discouraged, uncertain, or simply not feeling well.  It could be your smile, your words of just real KINDNESS that pulled me through.  I’m not sure if you will ever understand… but you should know, you are all special to me.  I’m grateful to everyone for all the prayers and positive thoughts.

One never knows what each day will bring and the past few months have been very difficult for me and my family.  After 15 years, who would have ever thought that my breast cancer would make a return visit but as we all know, this horrible disease does not have a conscience and knows no boundaries.

It has taken me a while to process and digest everything.  I am over the shock now and moving forward with a positive attitude.  What a lovely surprise and visit I received from one of your board members, Mary Buccifero.  The comfort basket from Seymour Pink was beautiful.  Thank you!!

I tell my family & friends every day how could I not get through this difficult journey with all the love and support that surrounds me daily.  Thank you for brightening my day and for the wonderful job and hard work you put into making Seymour Pink what it is.

I am enclosing an article my son sent me [about the Carey Foundation].  He happened to see this display while shopping at Bloomingdale’s in Dan Diego where he lives.  He was impressed and honored that his little town of Seymour was included in this article.

Dear Seymour Pink & Donna Sorensen,

The day I received your great comfort basket I was feeling really down.  But I opened it & it brought a smile to my face & tears to my eyes.  I know I’m not alone, Thanks to Seymour Pink & Donna.
Thank you for your support.

~ October, 2016

Thank you for the generous payment towards my medical bills at Yale New Haven Hospital.  My hope is to pay it forward to you & my community some day.

Kathleen –

Let me give you a little background about this gift… I live in Seymour and my FAVORITE teacher of all time has created an organization called “Seymour Pink: A community’s fight against breast cancer”.  She has raised over 1 million dollars to help find a cure and reach out to those people who have been diagnosed and are fighting for their lives.  She has literally mobilized our entire community for the cause through 5K’s, Wine Tastings, Pasta Dinners, T-Shirt designs, shopping nights & raffles.  We even have a “Seymour Pink DAY” in our town (Oct 12th!) This comfort basket is from Seymour Pink and it has been made with the LOVE and SUPPORT of an entire community.  I hope that it brings some peace and comfort to you as you “fight the fight,”  Kath… and when I run in the Seymour Pink 5K on Oct 1st – I’M RUNNING FOR YOU!!
Love you – Dina

I am so touched when I received the mail with your donation in the amount of ###.##. It was a blessing shared from you. No amount of words can ever express how grateful we are for such an organization who willingly shared their time in sending donations to people like us.
I am Vienna Noble with Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma stage 3 and the greatest part I can share right now , is that you have inspired me to live longer so that I can work and be a part of any organization that I can also touch lives of people. Once again thank you so much for your help. In behalf of my family we will forever be grateful for the gesture.
God bless and more power to you and your staff.

Thank you for your generous support of this year’s Breast Cancer Symposium.  Nancy Cappello was an inspirational speaker enjoyed by all in attendance.  The auditorium was filled and the reviews were uniformly positive.  Sincere thanks for your hard work and support of our patients.

My daughter has been my biggest supporter throughout my currently ongoing journey with breast cancer these past 9 months and counting. She is my only immediate family that stuck by me…that didn’t walk out on me. Please feel free to include this picture if you like. Your help has meant so much to us. I am a single mother. Finances are nonexistent and your help has meant so much at this time in my life.Thank you. From the bottom of my heart.

YES – men can get breast cancer too!  We so desperately need to raise awareness.

Thanks again for thinking of me and helping raise awareness for men.  Men don’t realize they can get it.  They don’t go to the doctor usually and ignore it…so when found it is in a late stage.  Mine was stage 3a.

Some of these photos are awful, but I could tell you at what point in my illness they were at.   My Breast Cancer triggered a very Rare Auto Immune Disorder called Dermatomyositis.  So besides not having energy to walk a few steps, I couldn’t get out of bed, wash or comb my hair, lift my arms up or carry more than a half a gallon of almond milk.  I am very grateful to Seymour Pink for the financial assistance they gave me. I am a single woman taking care of her sweet 78 yr old mom and young 23yr old girl.  Thank you, thank you, thank you.   My favorite photo of course would be the 3 Generation photo my friend took 3 months before I became so ill.  My treatment included Mastectomy, Chemo and Immuno-suppressant Drugs along with High doses of Prednisone.
