Thank You
Notes from 2018 Christmas Recipients
Each year Servant’s Heart of Indy
partners with sponsors to reach out to our families
at Christmas. God used us in a mighty way to touch
244 families and bless 600 children with Christmas
gifts under their trees. On the day the gifts were
distributed, recipients were given an opportunity to
write a 'thank you' note to their sponsor. Following
is a sampling of their notes of gratitude written in
their own words:
- "My grandchildren love their gifts. May God
bless you and all your helpers. Thank you so
very much…
Santa Shop visitor
- "I want to thank you all for being there for
thru out the year. I want to say I am glad I
could help raise money with the quilts I made
and donated. I love helping if I can no matter
how little or how big. I hope 2019 will be
better for all of us. But when we have each
other and God with us we can get thru."
Santa shop visitor
- "Merry Christmas and Thank You so very much
Servant’s Heart of Indy. Also to the family that
made our Christmas special! It means so much,
more than you know.
I hope God blesses each and every one of you for
it."

true. Thanks for your help and your pure loving
heart. God will surely bless you for blessing my
family. I love you guys and all that you do."

you provided for my grandson he had the best
Christmas imageable. He knows it came from a
guardian angel. I could never tell him I did it
or he would not know about giving and sharing. I
am at a loss of words to say. I cannot not thank
you enough.

helping our family have a great Christmas. Our
family has undergone some financial difficulties
and this year when we thought it would be a

each my children that money and gifts are not as
important as our family and even though they are
understanding they are still kids and they like
gifts. I would like you to know that you are a
true blessing to us. Not only did you give us
presents for Christmas but you also showed us
that God is with our family. I thank God for
organizations and people like you that helped us
and other people in need. Thank you for
demonstrating God’s love. From the children: "I
am thankful for the gifts I got this year. Not
only am I thankful for this years but other
gifts that I got in the other years. Gifts are
not the only things I am thankful for, I am also
thankful for my family and other things in
life." And "Thank you for the presents and thank
you for having my family here. I would like to
thank my parents for giving us the presents too.
I love my parents and God. Thank you for having
my family and me and that nothing happens to
us."

family that adopted my grand babies were so

- I would like to thank you for the gifts
given to my two granddaughters. They were very
nice and very much appreciated. This was our
second year to receive gifts and as always
really nice clothes, shoes, toys and art set. It
is a wonderful thing you do and we thank you
very much!
- Dear Servant’s Heart, thank you for the
Christmas presents. I enjoy them very much. The
hoodies warm and cozy and my classmates like my
clothes.
- Dear Servant’s Heart Volunteers, Donators
and staff, Thank you for giving the wonderful
presents. The clothes bought for me are
wonderful and fit amazingly. The art set sent to
me was also amazing too. On the second night of
owning it, I drew a picture of some characters I
had in mind. What you all do is amazing and I
appreciate it very much.

- Thank you so much Servant’s Heart. You made
Christmas great for my family!
– Family 382
- Dear Servant’s Heart, First I want to thank
you for all your help! I praise the Lord Jesus
for your kindness. I fell in love with Jesus at
the age of 23. When my four children were
growing up, God called me to serve him. I worked
in inner city with a group of friends. We
started a clothing store and food pantry. I was
a nurse and helped the elderly. I was happy to
serve God’s people. But as life goes on
hardships happen. Reading the Bible gives me
comfort and still today keeps me strong. My
husband of 45 years has been God’s blessing to
us. The Lord has given back to us the comfort of
the community. The food is a blessing! We don’t
go hungry anymore. You folks have carried out
God’s work. He has given back to us us LOVE
pressed down & over flowing. Thank you for
making our Christmas bright. Thank you to
everyone who helps make this possible. God bless
you & your family.
– Family from the Santa Shop
- Thanks so much for all the help.
