“LHF team, yesterday was an incredible day! Sharing in the experience at Padua was especially uplifting. I can't thank you and the Santa team enough. One of the EMS workers who came yesterday with the Plaquemines Parish escort told me she cried on the way there. Sadly, she is usually only called to help at Padua when there is an emergency with a sick or dying child. She said the Santa donation was so joyful. She was so happy to be a part of it. What a gift - to all of us. God bless you and all of your friends for really building hope in our Padua family and for recognizing the face of Jesus in our special children.” -- Gordon R. Wadge, President & CEO, Catholic Charities Archdiocese of New Orleans
