The “Gift” of Friendship-GiGi’s Playhouse

The “Gift of Friendship” that GiGi’s Playhouse Phoenix offers is valued by our GiGi’s Families.  This blog was submitted by Marlene Schatzman, one of our GiGi’s Playhouse Phoenix Moms who expresses what GiGi’s Playhouse Phoenix means to her Family.

 

 

“As I sat at my computer drinking a cup of coffee, surfing the web, I came across this quote and it touched my heart….”

“When the world is so complicated, the simple gift of friendship is within all of our hands” (Maria Shriver)

 

“What we sometimes take for granted, is not always available for all people. Our family is very grateful for GiGi’s Playhouse Phoenix and the gift of friendship it gives to Brett (and our family).”

 

 

“The Playhouse and GiGi U makes him happy and brings him such joy. Why is that?….because of the friends he may never have met.”

 

 

 

“Some friends come and go, but our true friends remember us and keep us in their hearts always. Whether our friends are far away, by our side, or going through a rough time, a true friend stands by their side.”

 

 

 

“Thank you to the many volunteers, participants, and educators that have become our friends. Thank you for your gift of friendship, a gift that keeps giving, and one that Brett and our family treasures every day.”
