Maria said she and Mike are so thankful for the gift, which has helped them buy things around the house they needed.
"The gift cards came in handy for household items we use around the house, such as toilet paper, paper towels, some food items, I needed a coat and we needed a new set of pots," she said, "all things I wouldn’t be able to do right now with him not working to care for me. And we also would like to thank PrimoHoagies for the turkey dinner - it was delicious!"
