Dear Anne:

On behalf of my daughter, I would like to again say thank you to you and your organization for your continuing efforts to obtain child support for her. As I had mentioned to you earlier, my local government child support agency had this case since 1990, when the non-custodial parent left, and not a single thing had been done to secure support for my daughter.

My sister was the person who had read an article about your organization. When she sent it to me, I was very skeptical and didn't do anything with it except file it away. I had always maintained that my daughter would never see a penny of the money that was due her, and I resigned myself to the fact that I would support her on my own, and I did.

However, as she got older and as I began to envision college costs, I decided I had nothing to lose, so I called Supportkids, had the papers sent to me, filled them out, mailed them and decided I probably wasted my time and stamps! (I can be a real pessimist, when I put my mind to it...)

Several months later, I found a check in my mailbox from Supportkids. I was stunned, thrilled, excited -- just about every emotion possible ran through me.

After our initial jumping around the kitchen in pure joy, I really did just break down and started to cry because as I said, I never thought I would ever get any support for my daughter. It was unbelievable.

I have a few friends who say that it's unfortunate that my daughter isn't getting all that is due her. My response is always the same -- we're thrilled to get 67% of something, rather than 100% of nothing, which is what we received for so many years.

I would recommend your agency to anyone who is unable to get any help from their local District Attorney's office.

Sincerely,

Joanne Y.
