Thank you Philippe for sharing the article.

It’s nice to read an appreciation letter for Tom from somebody who feel better as the result of the programs.

I hope there are more people will benefit from the programs.

This is one program where Tom Cruise’s humanitarian efforts speak out for themselves in a big way.

I heard one success that went like this:

“Dear Tom and Kate, … I’d like to share a little about myself so you’ll understand why I needed the program. I am married with three adult children, a teenager and four grandchildren. In 1984, I became a New York City Transit Police Officer at the age of 30. My only mission was to help others; it was my childhood dream. Before 9/11 my hobbies were bowling, roller skating, ballroom dancing, kung fu, sewing and cooking.

“On September 11, 2001, I found myself answering yet another challenge to help people. I stopped everything and responded to my work location: District 2, New York City Transit Police Department. Officers are trained to respond to all conditions while the public is told to retreat or leave the area. Since 9/11 my life has been a nightmare; I lost the quality of life that I took for granted. I had problems with breathing, allergies, hives, acid reflux and hypertension. On average I slept only 5 hours per night and I believed that was normal.

“My commitment to the New York Rescue Workers Detoxification Program was simple — I wanted to live with the best life possible. Upon completion of the program, I feel great, and I can now fully enjoy my hobbies again! My retirement made me realize that no matter how much you help others there is always a reward in giving. I’d like to say thank you for helping and believing in mankind. There are too few people who care about the next man. Your generosity will be praised by me and every person whom I share my experience with. Thanks again. [name deleted for privacy reasons]“

I salute Tom for doing an honorable job for the 9/11 workers in NY. He knows the project will put him in controversy again, but it doesn’t deter him from doing it. Go Tom, God Bless you.

All I can say is “Thank God for Tom Cruise” once again he does what he believes is right to help people and doesnt give a s#*t about the naysayer, the negative press or any other criticism he gets doing it. How could people object to something that clearly helps people feel better. I swear I don’t get this world sometimes. I wish there were more of him, Thanks Tom for helping my fellow New Yorkers, they deserve all the help they can get.
