After the event we received the below feedback from the veteran family who received this playhouse. “Charlotte was all smiles and as soon as we got it set up at the house she ran right out to it. Even her doggy brother Sparrow likes it! We can’t thank you enough for smiles this brought our family. This is a wonderful program and we can’t extend our appreciation enough.” - The Proctor Family
