"I just wanted to thank you and Desert's Best Friend for the beautiful gown you provided me with for the upcoming military ball. I appreciate the time that your lovely volunteers took to help me select the one that was "just right for me." Every person that has seen the gown is absolutely in love with it too! Thanks again for supporting military wives. Your organization is amazing!" - Jenny B.

"I just wanted to say thank you all so much! I came for be ball gown giveaway you offered. I am a plus size girl and there were so many options for me, which I have not found elsewhere. I usually dread looking for a dress, this year I can walk in feeling confident and beautiful. If I didn't find a dress, I would not be going to the ball.. I cannot express my gratitude, You were so, so helpful and so nice! I appreciate it all!" - Kate B.
