From Testimonials:
“Thank you for helping with travel expenses related to Joseph’s medical care in Ann Arbor. The sad news is that Joseph went home to be with the lord on December 3rd. He fought so valiantly, and we hoped and prayed so hard that he would receive a new strong heart. We did not expect this, and it has been a painful and difficult time for our family. God Bless the Lions. Your organization helped a family in distress, and we are so grateful. We will always remember that the Lions reached out to a young family in need and helped them when they could not help themselves.”
“My son is now 1 ½, and he has had the kidney transplant. He can now live a more normal life because of the Lions. I don’t know how we’ll ever be able to repay your generosity. Thank you for caring.”
“I want to thank the Lions of Michigan Service Foundation for the medical assistance for my son Mark. It is very difficult for me to accept assistance (even on behalf of my son). In fact, I discouraged my wife from seeking help. However, I have come to realize that despite efforts to be independent, there are many circumstances beyond your control that can quickly change your life.”
