Dear Donors,
I am thrilled to be able to announce that thanks to your generosity, our campaign for Mrs. An’s family has been fully funded just two weeks after it began. This campaign has been far more successful than anyone here at AEPD expected, and we’re all excited and humbled that so many of you have been moved to contribute.
The task for us now is to use your contributions to buy the family a buffalo. AEPD has gotten government approval for the business plan we developed in consultation with Mrs. An, and we’re working with the Advocacy Project, the organization running this campaign, to get your donations to AEPD as soon as possible. Once that happens, an AEPD outreach worker will work with Mrs. An to find a healthy buffalo for sale in her area at a good price. I’m also hoping to visit the family and deliver the good news in person; if I’m able to do that I will let you know. Either way, my hope is to get Mrs. An her buffalo within the next few months, and even if I’m not personally able to see it (as my fellowship at AEPD ends in three weeks), I’ll make sure someone from AEPD takes plenty of photos so that you can see the impact of your donations.
Once again, thank you so much for your support of Mrs. An and AEPD. I haven’t had the opportunity to speak with Mrs. An yet, but I know that she and her children are grateful for your donations and that having this buffalo will make a big difference in their lives.
All the best,
Jacob Cohn
