Dear Board Members:
My goddaughter Melissa Schaefer is a very special child. She has had heart surgery, an amputation, toncillectomy and several other physical challenges, yet her smile and cheerful attitude gives joy to anyone who has the blessing of encountering her. I would like to thank the Joffrey Ballet Company for allowing the opportunity for many special needs children to experience the culture, joy and fantasy through "The Nutcracker" performance. During intermission, Melissa extended her arms with a gleeful smile and gave me a big hug and said, "Thank you Auntie Katie. Need I say more.
With Much Appreciation,
Kathryn Forestal

Dear Myria Reed Foundation:
My three year old daughter Melissa has CHARGE Association and a prosthetic right leg. She has gotten the Barbie Nutcracker video for Thanksgiving and watched it often. So when we went to the Ballet she was familiar with all of the music. When she saw the dancing her eyes totally lit up and she was dancing in her seat. She love the snow babies and wants to be one. All I have heard about is the Sugar Plum Princess and how beautiful she was and how wonderful she danced. Since the performance she has decided she wants to take ballet classes, and she will do it with her "helper leg." Thank you for the opportunity to attend this wonderful performance and adding so much joy to my child's life. This experience was the highlight of our Holiday Season! Thank you again.
Sincerely,
Kim Schaefer
