THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! What more can we say!!! The support was tremendous DESPITE the weather. We would like to thank all the fire departments who help out at the benefit, and still were able to provide needed service to their own community during the storm. It was wonderful to see everyone and if we didn't get to talk to you, we apologize! The support of the merchants, and members of the community and the Class of 1970 OMCS (yeah, Ron & Carm are that old)was tremendous. As you saw, if you came early in either session, Jeremy was up and walking (with his crutches) for quite a while. It tires him out though and he had to resort to the wheelchair about 30 minutes into it. BUT, it's wonderful to see him up and moving, and each week he gets more strength and ability to do more.
It was also wonderful to get to meet Dana Carr in person! Dana and Jeremy share a similar situation--Dana also has a spinal cord injury and is in a wheelchair. Hopefully these two determined young men can become good friends and companions! Dana has only been home a week, and his family braved the weather to come up from Horseheads to be with us! Thanks Carr family it was GREAT to see you again!
Jeremy and Ron both have Doctor's appointments this week, so hopefully we can give you some more info on them both next week.
Oh, have you seen him driving??? Yes, Jeremy has been able to get hand controls on his truck and he can drive by himself. It sure gave him back the independence that he once had and missed so much! Now he doesn't have to "ask" Mom or Dad to take him someplace, he just ambles to the truck and goes!! PROGRESS!
Love to you all, and THANKS AGAIN!!
Carm and Family

I'm so happy that the Benefit went well depite the weather. Great pic of Jer and Dana have met in person. God Bless All of You and Yours !!
How awesome! With luck the drs appointments will bring more good news! Lots of luck and prayers to Jeremy, Ron & Dana!
Excellent! We didn't get back down ... went home to take care of the doggies after the bake sale ended, and it took us over 45 minutes to make the 5 minute trip back to Cronk Rd.... Route 414 was closed and then we found that we had lost our power... so Rick had to get out the generator and I got out the oil lamps! Glad you did well - God bless Jeremy and all of you too!
Wouldn't have missed it for the world!! And you are so right......we did have fun even though the weather tried to dampen things. Jer, I am so proud of you and your determination. Look how far you have come in five months!! We love you!! Prayers to you and your family always....
We are glad we could help Bro. It was nice to be back in the old Fire Station again. I do miss it. If we don't see you before, we will see you at the banquet. Take Care.

To the entire Hoffman Family,
Doing this benefit was the least we could do. For all Jeremy and the Entire family gives this community it was the least we could do to give back. All we ask of you guys is to keep up the amazing progress and positive additudes that have gotten you this far. We Love You!!!!!!!!!
Love,
Daughter Dawn
