FAMILIES TESTIMONIES

When families return home after this vacation, they carry tender moments, smiles and warm memories to be treasured for years to come. The kindness of the many supports of BEYOND THE MOON touches young lives, whose time is so precious. Letter after letter, families attest the extremely positive influence such a vacation has on their lives; parents sometimes believe this experience prolonged their child's life. However, it has also happened that several of our sick children passed away a few days or weeks after their vacation.

SOME EXTRACTS from family letters:

"We experienced countless beautiful moments together with our children. Moments we will never forget." Family V., Germany

"This was certainly the most wonderful time our family has experienced in many years. Natalie was treated beyond what royalty would have been treated like. She will always have fond memories of this time. Words cannot describe this experience well enough. Although words like, outstanding, amazing, second-to-none all come to mind. I have three children and Natalie is my youngest. When Natalie was in the hospital on so many occasions, my other two always seemed lost. This was not only a difficult time for Natalie, but also for her brother and sister. To have given them this time together as a family was important and it made Natalie feel like she was giving us something special just from her. Thank you a million times over!" Family F., United Kingdom

"One big thanks for this unique experience, for that little piece of Heaven on Earth that we witnessed thanks to your association." Family L., Belgium

"All the stress and heartache we had been under in the previous weeks began to loosen its grip on us as we graciously received what felt like one giant hug from complete strangers. There was not one little detail that went unnoticed or unappreciated. We did not appear to be a family with a terminally ill child. We flew home Sunday night, 19 September. Fifteen minutes after pulling in our driveway, Kelly had a severe headache. Her very first symptom of the recurring tumours. During the night, she lapsed into a coma and died the following afternoon." Family N., The Netherlands

“In the most enduring time of our life, we were offered this extraordinary
experience. We never held it for possible it existed: a helping hand and
compassion from our fellow man reached out to us through your organisation.
To witness my son's happiness during these days was the most
uplifting experience for my wife and I in many, many years. It was a sheer
miracle hearing Patrick laugh again. I see things very differently now.
Because it's only now that I understand that the caring heart of people like
you is the most valuable thing on earth. I grant you my son's smile."
Family R., Austria

"We are all having a wonderful time at Disneyland Resort Paris. Amy especially has loved seeing Mickey and Minnie and enjoyed the VIP treatment from everyone here who has been fantastic for her. Amy didn't stop smiling all weekend." Family R., United Kingdom

"The suffering and pain Mitchell went through with each operation and chemotherapy treatment can never be taken away from him. To have organisations like yours that fill his mind and memories of such incredible experiences as the trip you sent us on is nothing short of an absolute God send. We cannot thank you enough for the difference you made in Mitchell's life and ours." Family D., South Africa

"Having a great time. Tom is so, so happy he cannot believe he is really
here !!!" Family P., The Netherlands
