Our family has been so blessed to be part of the Leaps of Love family. I say “family” because that is exactly what they are to us, family. Last year friends of ours who are also a part of LOL, encouraged us to attend the family retreat weekend in Hannibal with them. Our friends had nothing but wonderful things to say about LOL and so we decided to go.  The experience we had during this family retreat was amazing.  Most of all, we were treated as family the moment we arrived.  The entire weekend provided our family emotional support by networking with the other families that were also there.  The fun activities were well planned and organized with every detail thought of.  Our two boys enjoyed every minute of the trip and have memories of this experience for their life.  They have a forever friend and bond with one of the volunteers.  Since that trip last year, we have continued to be a part of LOL through various events.  Our Hero, Cole, just turned 5 and celebrated his birhtday with friends and family by raising money for Leaps of Love.  Cole raised over $500 to support Leaps of Love.  Without Leaps of Love, what would families like ours do?  How would we have the chance to meet other families and form support groups?  Simply put, without Leaps of Love, we wouldn’t.  From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You Leaps of Love for putting these Hero’s first and providing their families with tremendous support.  You are truly AMAZING!!!

Sincerely,

The Harris Family – Kelly, Heather, Cole and Jack
