Debbie Salinas’ Testimonial at the 2009 Flavors of the Town event

Kim Williams’ Testimonial at the 2008 Flavors of the Town event

While most families who have been served by the Foundation tell us that "words can’t describe" their gratitude, their stories capture in a small way the power of lending a hand and the great work that can be accomplished with your support of the Foundation.  We hope that you find them as inspiring as we do.

"I am so impressed with the love, care and spirit of helping that I have experienced through the Busby Foundation.  All of the people who helped my sister-in-law were so generous with their time, support and love.  I could never thank all of those connected with the Busby Foundation enough." – Bret W.

"The Busby Foundation was able to help me get a much-needed enlarged bathroom with a roll-in shower. They were able to help me with a gift to help with the cost of the remodel as well as having an extensive list of volunteers willing to help with the actual remodel work. It would not have been possible for me to get this remodel without their help." – Gerry G. 

"I would like to thank you for the support I received from the Busby Foundation. This is an awesome thing that you guys do for people. It was so nice not to be bothered with phone calls from a particular creditor at this point in my life and that wouldn't have happened if it weren't for the foundation. God bless you and thank you so very much!!!!" – Becky G.

"We cannot thank the Busby Foundation enough for the overhaul of our master bathroom.  I thank you for visiting our home and making recommendations on how the bathroom should be designed to better suit my husband’s needs. Before the remodeling was done it was very difficult to get him into the bathroom safely. Since the door frame was not wide enough for him to drive his wheelchair into the bathroom I had to hold on to him as tight as I could and slowly walk with him to the tub and getting him into the shower was becoming more and more dangerous for the both of us.  We are so happy with the new design of the shower and it has worked out so well for us.  Thank you ever so much for all that you have done for us.  You and the Foundation will always be in our prayers." – Kim B.

"I thank God often that I was introduced to the Busby Foundation.  Their compassion, generosity and understanding of the complexities of ALS are unmatched.  To the crew that installed the roll-in shower and the fine people of the Busby Foundation, I thank you so much for installing a very nice and useable shower." – Paul B.

"It takes special people to reach out and help someone, to touch a family by giving and caring.  I will never forget what the Busby Foundation did for us.  You never know when you may be in this type of situation.  I never expected us to be.  After decades of working, my husband in the corporate world and I in retail management, we started our own health and wellness business to educate people on being healthier.  Three years into the business, my husband was diagnosed with ALS.  Everything started going downhill for us.  My husband was falling a lot which made it very difficult to work.  We closed the office, and having been self-employed, we had no health Insurance.  We lost a lot.  The ALS Association that works together with the Busby Foundation got us hooked up with the right people.  While we were informed that my husband would be able to draw disability and social security and that there was no holding period for people diagnosed with ALS, unfortunately it took ten months before disability kicked in leaving us with no income.  We got behind in our house payments.  We were so afraid of losing our home.  Thank God for the Busby Foundation.  They supported us, keeping us from going into foreclosure.  Later we had another adjustment to face.   My husband could no longer go up the stairs in our home, and we had no shower downstairs.  The Busby Foundation came to our rescue again by providing a shower downstairs.  I will always be grateful to the Busby Foundation.  I encourage everyone to donate to the Busby Foundation so they can continue to help others.  I do not know what we would have done without them." – Teresa B.
