Its was early November when we finally got the diagnosis of what was causing our darling Trinity to stumble, be so tired, the nose bleeds, a slight fall caused a broken arm.... 7 short months later, with the whole world turned upside down we layer her to rest. Every year I watch as your family works to bring joy to the faces of these babies. Trinity wanted to be an Oncology nurse, she would share her gifts with the other kids in the hospital. We tried to carry that on after she was gone. Watching this each year makes me happy but makes me cry. Everything you do is such a help! Thank you on behalf of all cancer families, Thank you.

I'm a 56 year old Man and a retired US Army Veteran of 25 yrs. Every year that your wonderful, beautiful family do this gift and donation drive, I tear up. For you to take time out of your busy schedule, building, and family things your family is the most special family that I have had a privilege to watch on RU-vid. Such great hearts❤️🙏👍

It was 10 years ago when my daughter was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. We are blessed to say she is cancer free today. What a beautiful thing you are doing for these kids. Believe me they love it and appreciate it.

To all viewers, I cannot tell you how touched I am by all of you. I have known this family for years now and I am so proud of them for rallying tons of y'all to donate toys, money, prayers and thoughts that go beyond just the simple. I thank each and everyone of you from the bottom of my heart for making this drive such a success year after year. May God bless you all immensely. Thank you, Paulla

Thank you for all you do for everyone! You all are angels! I think Jeremy deserves a trip to the bakery! 😊

Happy tears are starting to appear. God's blessings to you, your family and every one who contributed. Cancer is such a fearful and scary thing to go through, personally or with someone you love and care about. Thank you all for caring enough to do this

I'm a 12 year stage 3 cancer survivor & just retired this week after 46+ years of working. & what this Awesome Good Simple Living family & the amazing You Tube family has done for these cancer children is a huge blessing for the family of these sick children you all rock. I've been a Christian man for 57 of my 65th birthday on this November 28 a Subscriber & donated for 2 years so blessed to have found this channel on You Tube!

Thank you so much for what you do for the children. My son is a cancer survivor , diagnosed at 15 yo and now married and 39yo. After 5 years of chemo and dad leaving we have survived. The lord is good!

"To the least of these." If only our world understood those five words and acted on them. Blessings to all of you and to every person who donated, your making life a little bit easier for some special people!❤

THIS is what it's truly about!! These precious children will get a splash of love and sunshine which they and their parents really need. it's SO humbling to see just how good people really are.

Okay, my eyes are leaking. What an amazing viewership y'all have! I'm praising the Lord for this great work. Thank you. Love and prayer for the children.

As a former cancer patient I never asked for prayers for myself only for children their struggles and understanding of what has happened to them hurt my heart more... what you do for cancer children patients is beyond amazing! ❤ it's AMAZING how people help FOR THE CHILDREN!❤ thank you and everyone what you do for THEM🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

These are God's wounded Angels if there ever was one ,WOW !! GOD BLESS YOU ALL !!! I hope God sheds his Holy spirit like rain down on you're souls this holiday season !

Simply amazing. If this hasn’t moved you in the slightest, check your heart. I was moved with tears. They stories is “the story”. Blessings to All and may this season be one of immeasurable Miracles.🙌🙌🙌

I don't know how this has happened, but you and your family are an unbelievable gift that just keeps on giving. I am thinking that You Tube was created for your family. We all get to watch you here but the impact to so many is no doubt incredible. Lucky for me, I have been watching your videos for a long time. My favorite Saturday morning thing to do. You all go far beyond what most of us think is possible and so we are all inspired to do better and I thank you so much. I imagine we are all different ages that are watching you, I am in my 70's and am feeling very inspired to do better. Love to you all🥰

Bravo everyone, especially your family for coordinating it all and delivering it all!! What an awesome feeling it is to help these children and their families. Blessings to all!!

I am in tears, thankyou to this faithful family & all who donated & may they feel God's love for each gift given ❤️ God bless you all big

Don't be ashamed of shedding a few tears, I am not. What your family do to make those children and their family smile is so worth it. Love to you all, and the families you are making life that bit better. Love from Mike. ❤

Cried like a baby watching the video! God bless you for the work that you guys do to help these kids! Glad to be just a tiny part of it.

I can't stop crying and smiling. There are no words to thank you for all the family has done.

Tears and prayers for those afflicted with these terrible cancers! My heart aches for them all. Thank you for bringing them some joy during their most difficult time. God bless you 🙏💖🙏

I look forward every year to see how much you've collected over the previous year. But once I know the video is about to air, I'm dreading to watch it 'cause I know I'll be crying throughout the video. I want to thank-you and everyone who donated for making a world of difference for CCC and what they are achieving for these children and their families!

God bless you all for what you have done. My 16 year old granddaughter has been studying biomedical courses in vocational school and has made her goal to become an oncology researcher and help find a cure for cancer. She is a straight A+ student and I know she will be relentless in research. Thank you for all you have done. Much love and blessings.❤❤

Man, you guys! Every year this run gets me all in tears. What an absolute stunningly gracious and caring community! Well done Suza family. You all are amazingly great stewards. God bless you.

Dear Melissa and Jeremy, Your charity drive has deeply touched my heart on many levels. I am overwhelmed by the generosity and love shown from your viewers and was brought to tears. Your thoughtfulness in facilitating this drive every year for the children and their families is what love and faith is all about. In 1969 at the age of five, my youngest sister was diagnosed with a rare and incurable brain disease that left her in a vegetated state at home for 11 years until her passing. It was extremely difficult on our family of seven. I’ll never forget the generosity of the community that put together a fundraiser for my parents to help with medical bills. Touching people’s lives with kindness is like having a blanket wrapped around the pain and scares. God Bless you and your family for touching so many lives. Thank you for being who you are and setting a good example for your children and community.❤❤❤

Thank you for all the good work you do for this cause ❤

This is so needed for the world, lots of good hearted people, helping others! Congratulations 🎉 to ALL!

Oh My Goodness! Thank you to EVERYONE who made this possible! Hugs and love from N.C..❤

Absolutely love this! Prayers that all these children know how much hope and love there is for them to be cancer free and happy!❤

AWESOME CONGRATS! GOOD JOB EVERYONE!

This was the best year ever for your toy drive! Congrats and may your entire family be blessed for this effort...Influencers doing good...So nice! Take care all of you...I think I'm as excited as you all are and those kids will be too!!! Yah Bless... 🙏🙏🙏 👍😇👍

I had a sick child. She lives and now has children her own. The worst thing of all was that we for years had the feeling of beeing alone. For me the greatest gift you give away is: YOU ARE NOT ALONE! My best wishes for you all, Gerald

You guys are amazing. The things that these kids have to go through it’s nice to see that there is still people out there that care enough to help. Such a small gift can bring so much light and hope to these kids and it is absolutely beautiful that your whole family is involved and learning valuable lessons. Love you guys absolutely love the channel and all the videos. Please please please keep doing the things you do and keep touching people lives because it is a beautiful things to see.

Congratulations and well done guys.....you have bought a gift of giving to all these children from your community and your hearts....thankyou. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💙

Makes me cry every year. I’m so happy to play such a tiny part in this wonderful time of year and help support these families fighting for their lives ❤❤ god bless you!

This is amazing. My daughter and grandson have fought this battle and we understand how it feels to be on the receiving end of wonderful people. God bless you.

Just amazing ! To help these families through a hard part of their lives. Thank you everyone!

I cannot make it through the CCC delivery without tears streaming down my face....each year. So much appreciation to the Souza family and the Good Simple Living community 💖 who wrap their loving arms around these families. 🙏

Officially in a boat load of happy tears !!! Wow !! God bless your family, all those that donated and the organization receiving this huge blessing ! Now I can't wait to see the response as I finish watching the video ! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉

I lost four people in my family to Cancer! Mom, Dad, & two sisters. What you have done for these families is such a Blessing for them. ❤ your family work so hard to get everything organized, packaged & Delivered. It fills my heart so full. Merry Christmas! May the Joy of the Season touch your souls & Rejioce in Jesus!❤

Best video of the year! As I sit here crying and praying for the healing of these children and for their families it just shows me how much strength we have collectively. It also provides me with perspective on my own issues and how small they are in comparison. Thank you Sousa family for being the instigators and guardians of this great effort to let these children and their families know that we all care. Let's do it again next year!

How special your family is!!! This is what family is about and giving back. Thank you

Can a family be anymore special! Good job donors! You all showed out this year😊 Take care and may you ALL be blessed. Let us continue to pray for cures for theses horrendous diseases.

Thank you for all you and your family do for these kids. As well for your own kids teaching them how to do for others in need. I am a volunteer at a Ronald McDonald House. We don't often see the patients for they are down at the children's hospital. But we house about 150 parents of those kids and we see what sickness, hope and yes, sometime hopelessness does to these families. Any time you bring a gift of hope and happiness to those deserving families you are performing a miracle for them. Good on you all. Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm always so moved by your toy drive videos. My heart goes out to all those little heros in their fight with cancer. You and your family are such a blessing not only to those children receiving treatment but also to all of us out here in RU-vid land that you have touched our hearts and inspired all of us. God Bless all of you.

God bless you and your family!!🎉congratulations everyone ..praise God for all who donated their love ❤️

God bless them all. Thank you for your time getting everything together ❤️ Merry Christmas to all...😊

Jeremy, Melissa and Family watching this video touched me deeply. Those Families and CCC will ever be grateful. God Bless you all. ❤ 🇨🇦

My heart is full and tears trickle down in both Joy and Sorrow for these families. Joy to be a part of the giving, and sorrow that these precious ones endure this terrible disease! Thanks for your giving hearts and for sponsoring this drive each year, and giving us all the chance to participate in small and large ways for these families!!! God bless ...

God bless you all, the hospital, and to everyone who made this year happen ❤.

150K!! Wow! Congrats GSL family and extended family and sponsors on the channel! Watching this fundraiser grow every year has been so cool and humbling. You guys are just amazing and a fantastic example of being the good you want to see in the world. ❤🎉🎄❄️🙏

Thank you Good Simple Living O'hana. Every year, you all show your Aloha for those who are suffering. It gives me hope for the future when I see all the love and generosity of the families and patients at this hospital. The woman who was talking about what and who cancer affects was so spot on. Cancer breaks people, families, jobs, homes, marriages, everything. Just ONE person can do so much to show they care. Thank you to the Souza family for bringing all of us together to support those who need to be told: "We Care". God Bless You and God Bless the patients and their families with healing and peace.

I have been watching your family now for 3 years and really admire what you do for the children cancer warriors. I work with 4 siblings whose father shot and killed their mother while all 4 were in the home. Their ages ranged at the time; 8,7,4 & 2. My daughter decided to do a Go Fund Me this year for Christmas since they live with their grandmother, which is barely making ends meet. Though ours is a different situation, a much smaller scale, I along with my daughter & family are so excited for this opportunity to make a small difference for these 4 children, I can only say; You & your family are amazing! God bless you.❤

well done family well done proud to say I am a part of Good Simple Living Family

It’s goooooooooooooo time🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Way to go you lovely family. Way to go.

Praying that many of those young children are healed completely by the treatments. Thank you Jeremy, Melissa, Nevaeh, Khimani, Kerah and Eli for all the work you all do for those going through these struggles. God continue to bless you and your family. Also to all who made this possible may all the Goodness of your unselfish love lead to a shower of blessings in the coming year. Melissa the tears today are tears of love and joy. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

So we'll stated Melissa. I'm a hospice nurse of both pediatric and adult population. I always thank my families for allowing them in at this most intimate times in a families life. It's a great honor to be trusted with these gifts we give and you are absolutely correct. We get back more than we actually gave. ❤❤❤❤❤

What a Thanksgiving holiday podcast. I know you you took these down a couple of weeks ago but thanks for saving the video for this weekend, makes it even more special! I will have to add a couple extra miles to my swimming routine to help overcome the 50 mile commitment. Enjoy your holiday weekend and the season upcoming! God bless you all for what you do!

🎉 WOW that's great 🎉 Even without the sponsors you had last year that's so awesome your community is ❤

Thank you and your sweet children for the love extended to all who are going through cancer. All those who have contributed to this beautiful funding have beautiful hearts! God bless you all!🥰🙏

Absolutely amazing! Every year, this is the video I look most forward to, and every year I turn into a big puddle watching it. 4 years into it and it has taken on a life of it's own. Your vision has made such a huge impact to all these poor kids and their families. God bless you and your family for making this movement a possibility and bless everyone who helps make it get bigger every year. I have a hunch you will need a bigger trailer next year. Just awesome!

U guys are truly an inspiration and I wish I could be more like u from a parent to your charitable work. Just awesome...

I’m so proud to call you my family

I am so blown away each year by what you do. My husband and I haven't helped you because we help many different charities thru our church and food banks and even have a large commitment to Haiti charity. Americans still are some of the most charitable people and it is so heart warming to see. I have shared your annual video on this charity.

Jeremy, Melissa and family, You all have such kind and giving hearts. Thank you for serving your community and inviting your followers to participate. It was no easy task to put this drive together and still maintain your homestead and getting ready for the winter months. Recently I had someone ask me how do we know what our mission in life is. It's an easy answer, "To serve others." By serving others we actually serve ourselves. The joy that each gift brings to a child is awesome. Although cancer is horrific there can be moments of joy thanks to the kindness of others. Thank you, thank you for asking your followers to be included.

United we can stand and be humane humans. Thank you for your time and energy. I worked at a children's hospital and it's these memories the children need. Peace ❤

You're family is awesome in all you do. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Thank you a million times over for taking on this support of those children and their families. May they overcome and thrive. Love to them - and to you all.

Thank you to everyone’s generosity. Children are our most precious, and valuable assets we have. Continue to be kind to each other, in this walk through life, you will unwittingly entertain angels. ❤🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

That is so very awesome. This brings tears to my eyes not for what you and the community are doing but the trials these precious children have to go through. My heart goes out to each and every child who is ill. Wish I could wave a magic wand and cure them all. Since I am unable to, will jeep them in my prayers...the higher magic.

GSL, you and your family and viewers are amazing 🤩 these children and their families appreciate everything you do. I do as well. Thank you and bless you!

Of all the amazing videos you guys have posted over the past few years, this one truly shows the kind hearted, good people you truly are. The sheer number of kids lives you have touched with all your generous donations is beyond words. Thank God there are still people like you in this world, that renew my faith in the human race. Well done!

Your family is amazing, what you’ve done for these children and families is incredible.

Thanks for being a great and wonderful family we may donate but it's because of your families love and caring that this can happen.

You & your Family are Amazing! Thank You for all you do!

My granddaughter had a brain tumor removed this year. While we’re still having some troubles, it’s not lost on us how fortunate we are that her tumor was not cancerous. I know how traumatic this diagnosis, surgery, and recovery has been on us, and I cannot imagine what these families go through hearing those dreaded words. I watch every single video you put out and I shed tears every year while watching “the delivery” video. This year I’m sobbing. I’m so thankful for you and your family and for everyone in this great community who can help to make this happen. Merry Christmas, everyone.

Love how you guys are supporting our "Cancer Warriors"! Thanks for sharing all the great life stories! God bless you and everyone...

Thank you to your family for doing this fund raiser every year. These families go through alot and for you to bring a smile and a bright spot in their otherwise gloomy day. Thank you all for being good and faithful servents. You will be blessed beyond measure.

I was anxiously awaiting this day!! This gets better each year!!

I shed a tear every year I watch this. Cancer has taken so many in my family. Your family is an absolute blessing. Thank you for all you do ❤

that was sooo... beautiful. thank you all for your heartfelt generosity. continued blessings.❤🙏🏼🕊

Another successful year! The families you helped all need a little prayer this holiday season. We as a collective, provided a happy moment for many they certainly need. Prayers for those that aren't here this year and their families need to be recognized too. Jenny said something I won't forget. By death, she killed her cancer.🕊️

What a beautiful beautiful initiative. We have so much to be grateful for. Bless you all ❤

Es admirable todo lo que hacen y dan sin pedir nada a cambio son un gran ejemplo a seguir 👏👏👏👏❤👉 desde argentina 🇦🇷 los apreciamos mucho 💝💞🤗

Thank you for such big big hearts ♥️ God bless y’all ❤

To all those amazing children fighting to survive our prayers are with you, your parents and carers. Tommy wins the day for positivity.

Oh, my Lord, You guys have done it yet again! You all had me in tears. I am just a woos when it comes to stuff like this. I believe I am a tough person; I don't cry easily but to watch your family do this for the past four years, to watch your children work right along with you two, to load and then unload, it just makes me cry. Your whole family is amazing, awesome, and so kindhearted. You guys are one of a kind. I wish I lived close to you guys. You're the kind of neighbors and friends I would adore to have in my corner. I know it has to take a toll on you guys to open and sort out all those items for the children and families. Again, your family is just amazing!! Can't help but love you all. May the good Lord bless your beautiful family and your home always.

Always a tearjerker every year I see these. Wish I had a prayer list for all these kids and their families. Such a terribly tough situation to have to go through. 😢 "40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me." Matt. 25:40 Keep storing up treasures in heaven, my brethren.

Amazing! Cancer is rough! Although I’m the one that has cancer, it has also impacted my daughter in ways that I can’t imagine or describe. The families who spoke are correct in that cancer affects absolutely every little part of the patient’s life and everyone around. The only thing that offsets its horribleness is kindness, like what you have shown here. Keep it up!

Such a great thing you do! So glad we were a part of it! ❤❤❤❤

I’m bawling my eyes out again this year. You guys and this community are incredible. God Bless you and I pray Psalm 91 over you.

This is so Wonderful!! The joy of Giving is Amazing!! Well done everyone ❤

So so awesome what a true blessing for those families. This is what social media is for. God bless you and your family

Absolutely beautiful thing you have done for those precious children. Thank you for being you ❤️🙏
