Holiday Heroes Experience

**HOLIDAY HEROES PHOTOS COMING SOON!**

As we start a new week, we are taking some time for thank you's!

Our hearts are so full. This year’s Holiday Heroes Experience was nothing short of magical, and it would not have been possible without the incredible village that surrounds Hardship Heroes.

First and foremost, THANK YOU to every Giving Tuesday donor and our amazing matching sponsor The Growth Coach Poconos Rick Franzo! Your generosity didn’t just fund an event, it created memories, joy, laughter, and moments of relief for families who truly needed it! Your impact was felt in every smile and every hug.

To our volunteers, Donna, Kelly, Gina, and Ashley, thank you for showing up with your hearts wide open. You gave your time, your energy, and your love to make sure everything ran smoothly and every child felt seen. We are so grateful for each of you.

To our Santa, Robert, you are truly one of a kind. Such a selfless, genuine human, and I am so thankful our paths crossed. You brought the magic in a way only you can, and our heroes felt it deeply.

A huge thank you to Mountain Dance Co. for sharing your talent and hearts with our families. Your performance brought excitement, joy, and pure magic to the night, thank you for entertaining our heroes so beautifully.

Thank you to Ateira's on First Catering for filling our bellies and warming our souls with such delicious food. Sharing a meal together is such a special part of this experience, and we are grateful for your generosity.

To our HEROES!!! Thank you for trusting us with your stories, your families, and your hearts. Thank you for allowing us to walk alongside you and create a little magic during such a tender season. You inspire us more than you will ever know.

And lastly, thank you to my family and my husband. Your unconditional support of me and this organization means everything. I am so proud to have you by my side on this journey and so grateful for the sacrifices you make so this mission can continue.

From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU. This is what community, love, and hope look like.
