Tina and Molly asked that donations be made rather than wedding gifts. The $100 donation that we just submitted is from mike and I and my daughters Michele and Emily and their families. What a wonderful thoughtful ‘gift’ from Tina and Molly on their wedding day.

Just saw the video for the first time. It brought tears. I admire your determination to not quit…although I’m sure some days it isn’t easy. Your encouragement to keep on keeping on helped me today. This moment. Sometimes I feel like quitting too…my world is sprinkled with things “I didn’t want”…with hard stuff I’m sometimes at a loss to handle…the world can be simply icky. But, as you say…we must keep moving forward…loving, inspiring, giving, encouraging. Thanks for your realness and your bravery and stamina. Hugs 🙂

Krista, Steve and I made a donation in honor of my mother-in-law, Jean Farr, a cancer survivor we recently lost, Kass and your dad. We wanted to take this time to tell you that we respect everything that you are doing with your foundation and how comforting it is to have your foundation to donate to and be a part of. I often think about the many lessons I have learned about life from your dad and how Kass’s big beautiful smile would light up the room and bring out the best in others and now my mother-in-law and how she has touched so many lives…especially mine. Thank you for all you do. Paula and Steve Farr

I want to thank the Paternostro Family Foundation for their financial assistance during my husband’s treatment for lung cancer. At a time when we were grappling with fighting his cancer it was very helpful to have their help in reducing the stress of meeting financial obligations due to his inability to work. You were a ray of sunshine during this time.
