Testimonials

“As a recipient of a YMCA senior citizen scholarship, I would like to thank you personally as my representative of the Y for the scholarship… I can’t say enough of how much I enjoy my time at the Y. It has changed my life. I have made many new friends and I have kept myself very occupied and physically fit. If I were not able to participate in the programs at the Y… I would have a very dull and depressing life. The Y employees of all sorts are the kindest and most considerate people on earth. They have probably saved my life at least twice when I had some bad insulin reactions. In my time of need, they have done their utmost to come to my aid and help me with greatest courtesy and compassion. I am so thankful and grateful for the opportunity to join with others in the most excellent programs at the South Shore YMCA.”

“I want to thank you and tell you I am so grateful to the YMCA for your help. In September my son Alex joined your school and did not speak any English, only Bulgarian. He now speaks very good English and is so happy. He loves school. He is very excited.

I have been going to pharmaceutical school to be awarded my B.S. in Health Science. I am so grateful to the YMCA for helping me pay for my son’s school care expenses. It has given me my opportunity to complete my dream of an education at the University. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, the YMCA is just wonderful to my family.”

“I just wanted to thank you for your help in paying my past due balance with the YMCA. We have been struggling so hard to try to stay ahead of our bills, and with three kids in daycare it’s hard to stay ahead. This means the world to me to have such caring people help us out. I am now able to keep working without having to lose my job due to no care for my child. Thanks again.”
