    Testimonial

    We met Barbara from Candlelighters, NYC through another family from our area who had treatment at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC.  We literally met her when Trevor was having surgery.  She came to the hospital with blankets and pillows for Marc and I to sleep on while Trevor was in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit recovering.  She brought Trevor toys to make him smile when he came out of surgery.  Barbara, her husband Stewart, and her sweet dog Uno welcomed Ava, Trevor, Marc and I into her home on many occasions and treated us like family.  Barbara is a wonderful person who does amazing things for kids and their families being treated in the NYC area.  It’s tough to be away from family for treatment.  We think of them as our NYC family.  We can’t thank them enough for their love, support, advice, gifts and the little creature comforts (like a nice glass of wine).
