Thanks for having a heart
Good for you for profiling Denise Redeker [“An open heart,” April 2023]. Her idea of starting an organization that provides affordable and clean lodging for heart transplant patients to recover in is stellar. A transplant coordinator I talked to told me about a man who lived in his RV after getting a heart transplant. Nobody should have to do that or be denied a transplant because they don’t have the money.

An ad that affirms
In the April issue, you ran a full-page ad of a handsome young man with Down syndrome modeling Spyder active wear. As a mother of a child with Down syndrome, I just want to say thank you for being so inclusive.

Happy with humility
I always find your magazine articles worth reading, but “Humble leaders,” written by Marilyn Gist, in the April issue is a standout. Bravo for that kind of [story] in a culture rife with ego!

In praise of the garage door program
Costco’s garage door program is the best [“A door to savings,” March 2023]. I did a lot of research before going with Costco to replace my door and opener. Amarr doors are top of the line, and LiftMaster has the most updated and current technology for openers. Plus the Costco Shop Card was a great added bonus. No other store offered the options and pricing I found with Costco! I checked them all.
