Testimonials
Dear Ms Albanese,
You leave me speechless. I received your surprise gift and want you to know how grateful I am. How do I thank you? It came just as my medical bills are piling up and the collection agencies are calling at all hours. I wonder how I’ll pay them all.
As you know, I am a single mother of two children without medical insurance. Prior to our divorce we were all covered by my husbands insurance, but circumstances leave you with choices and insurance was not a priority because other things had to take precedence. Believing that I was young and healthy I went back to work at a job which didn’t offer health insurance, but gave me the hours I needed to still take care of my kids. I also thought that in a couple years I should be back on my feet, my children will be older and hopefully by age 50 I’ll be able to get insurance coverage for all three of us.
Then I discovered the lump. I’m only 48, how could it be cancer? And I have no health insurance. Clearly I have made some wrong choices. Now that I’ve had the surgery and I’m going through radiation, I must say that everyone involved in my treatment has been wonderful, and somehow we’ll get through this.
Again I thank you so much.
Sincerely, Janet M. Marsico

I am writing to thank you for the $500 that you have helped me out with for my rent. I am so grateful and I hope one day I can pay you back plus some, so you can continue to help people in need. I prayed to God the night before I received your check, asking him to help me to find some way to pay my rent, as I am having a very, very hard time right now paying my bills. The next day you told me you were sending me a check.
God is good. He works miracles. I know He will continue to help me with my finances. You are a good, caring person, Jane, who God is using to help those less fortunate. He will bless you greatly. I will pray for you and your organization to prosper. I know you will. If you can use me in any way, please let me know, I will be glad to help you in any way I can. Thank you again.
God bless you and your organization.
Love, Diana Marinaccio

Dear Jane,
Thank you. These words are inadequate to express our appreciation to you, and
your organization Giants of Generosity, for your work on behalf of our daughter,
Joanne Chasmar. We pray that one day Joanne will also be able to thank you personally.
This note is brief, however, our thanks is enormous and from the bottom of our hearts.
Again, thank you.
Sincerely,
Lucy and Jim Sabato
