We must find time to stop and thank the people who make a difference in our lives.

Dear *{{Informal Name}}*
The day before Thanksgiving is usually filled with road trips, last-minute grocery runs, phone calls to family and friends, and a myriad of pumpkin-inspired baked goods. It is rare that we have time to stop for a moment and reflect on the meaning of it all.
In finishing up my own last-minute preparations, I realized that gratitude comes in many forms and can be communicated in many ways. Many of my family members offer to bring side dishes or desserts because they want to make the meal preparation easier. Others offer to bring flowers or wine so I do not have to worry about those things. And everyone asks what they can do to help me. All of these acts come from a place of gratitude and generosity.
There are so many ways in which our community gives to Families Moving Forward and every one of these is vital to achieving our mission. We would not be where we are without you. Our extended family of supporters, partners, and volunteers devotes an unlimited amount of time, resources, and energy to our cause. Because of you, we are able to make a difference and assist families in need every day.
Thank you for your passion and dedication, and for providing the inspiration and wisdom that make us who we are. Wishing you and your families a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving!
With gratitude,
