Thank-You from a Backpack Recipient

Hi Janet,
I don’t know if you remember us, but my husband was Matthew Shiver, and I’m Tiffany. We met at Bethesda Medical Hospital almost a year ago. My husband was the one injured by the helicopter. We just wanted to thank you and your family for helping us get through that time in our lives, and for your son helping my husband believe that everything was going to be ok. Your support meant a lot to us, and we can’t thank you enough for the generosity you have shown us. I personally couldn’t get over what had happened to my husband, but with your warm welcome and caring heart, you showed me that if you have the will to make things positive you can make it through anything.

We now live in California. Matthew is back at work (here) and doing great. They are going to send him back to Iraq for six months (soon). I don’t want to take up any more of your time, but I just wanted to thank you for everything you have done for us and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you guys. It’s hard to find people who care, and I’m glad we had a chance to have met you and your family.

Sincerely,
Tiffany and Matthew Shiver
