Thoughts & Comments

While
we are very excited about all that’s happening at IDC,
we are also rejuvenated and energized whenever a family takes
the time to write us a letter about the time they enjoyed at
Island Dolphin Care. Below are a few comments included in letters
sent in by some of the people we love
|
"We
felt like family as soon as we entered the building. We felt
like we were leaving family when we left to come home. Jeff,
you rock!!!!!! Please keep in touch with us. Everyone thought
you rocked!!!!! I know that John would love to hear from you
when you can...Sara, having you there to answer questions
about all the things we came across while snorkeling at the facility,
and on our own. You enriched the experience more than you will
ever know. Clara, your friendly face and attitude can't be beat!!!!
You were awsome. Your heart is so sweet!!! Deena, how can we
thank you??? We can't. We can tell you all day long for the rest
of our lives what your dreams and what you do at Island Dolphin
Care have meant to us, but, words don't come close. You are an
incredible person with an incredible heart. Forgive me, but,
I can't remember our interns name right now, but, her smile,
and friendly attitude helped us feel more comfortable all the
time. She was easy to talk to and loved to listen. I wish her,
and all the interns a wonderful life in their choosen fields.
I know each of them will turn out to be amazing people. They
already are... Peter's knowledge about the keys,
and advise about where to fish was a great asset to our trip.
We felt like we had a personal tour guide. Thank you for being
enthusisastic about the fishing, and the boys activities.
As
I close this letter, tears are running down my face. I love each
of you and honestly pray
we get to come
again. Like Clara
said, it isn't "goodbye", it is "see you next
time". Please keep in touch.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
John's mom

With
the most sincere appreciation and gratitude I write this letter.
Words simply cannot express
the impact of Marc visiting your facility in March. He thoroughly
enjoyed the experience and was so happy. His entire change in disposition
was duly noted by his school, friends, and family when he returned
to New Jersey . . . Autism has become such a challenge financially
and emotionally for my family. Quite honestly, without the scholarship
Marc’s dream would never have become a reality.” Marc’s
Mom
"We would like to thank you for
a truly amazing experience. Claudia cannot stop talking about the
great time she had there
and misses Sarah a lot. She prepared a scrapbook with the sheets
and pictures given to her by you and showed her class, family
and friends. We have seen the video over and over again. David
as well told his classmates and they think he’s really
cool. We thank you for the calendar, wonderful pictures, B-day
cake, my present and your gracious hospitality. It truly was
a memorable experience!” – Claudia and David’s
Mom
"Andrew got out
of the water on Friday and said, ‘Mom,
I feel EUPHORIC!’ On the way home he said, ‘Mom I
really think I feel different.’ He had his big Gamma Infusion
day on Monday and he kept telling Nurse Natalie that he really
did not need this anymore...Well, they took tons of blood to
test and we will find out results soon.
Thank you a million times over for this awesome place to come
and enjoy and delight in the people and the dolphins. We have
been spreading the word and Andrew is intense when he makes a
commitment. He will continue to pass the word for donations.
HAVE A FABULOUS DOLPHIN FILLED DAY!" - Andrew’s Mom
