Here are some comments, emails, and letters we’ve received that just make our day every time…enjoy!

From some of the companies who donate supplies:
“Thank you so much for letting us be a part of the great service you do!! We are so happy to donate to such a wonderful cause.”

“Your organization is doing a noble act helping our brave military men and women stay connected with their loved ones back home and Kitchen Sink Stamps is honored to lend a helping hand.”

“Hello Friends, I think your organization is doing a wonderful thing. Keep up all the great things you are doing. I will help contribute as much and as often as I can, when I get new products in. We can make a difference, one step at a time.”

From some of our cardmakers:
“I am so excited to be able to rediscover this hobby, I had all but given it up completely when I found the CFH site and it’s like art therapy for me!”

“Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You don’t know what you did, but you made my day by doing it! Just now I went to the CFH Homefront Blog and saw that the picture of cards has my most recent ones in it! It really just made my day seeing them there. I mean, I know they are going to the troops, but somehow seeing them there with the others ready to be packed and shipped really hit it home for me!”

“You are doing a great thing for all the service men and women and thank you for that!”

“Thank you for doing this and allowing me to help our great heroes!!!!!”

“Oh happy day! I found your website!!! While searching for a group that sends handstamped cards to our troops to let them know we’re thinking of them I found your site! Your organization is exactly what I was looking for. Until Angel Stampers for Soldiers discontinued I set aside 2 days a month to make “Soldier cards.”

“My nephew just returned from Iraq so I fully understand how very much a card from “back home” can mean. Thanks so much for doing this!!!”

“My daughter is a Cadette Girl Scout with Troop XX. As part of her Silver Award she is collecting and making cards to donate to your organization. She has about 100 cards so far and has just started within the last two weeks.” (Another email came in saying she might be increasing her goal to 3,000 cards!)

“I am writing to commend you on your efforts of sending cards to the troops. I am the wife of an Army Major who is currently stationed in Iraq. I know how much these cards are appreciated and how much hard work this is. So I just wanted to say Thanks for standing behind our troops. It really does make a difference.”

“I came across your website cardsforheroes.org today and I immediately wanted to become involved. My family and I have a good friend who is being deployed in September to either Iraq or Kuwait, we’re not sure yet, and he has a wife and 2 daughters, so this effort is so encouraging. Thank you to everyone who got this organization started. I can’t think of a better way to use my card making supplies and my love of card making to share with our beloved heroes. I’m going to spread the word around and I myself have a few friends that get together monthly for a card making workshop, and I’m hoping we can start making cards for this effort, but I can assure you, that I will be making them whether or not I can get anyone else involved or not. Thank you again.”
