On 11th of May, exactly eleven days ago, we sent out an urgent appeal titled " HELP FAMILY HOPE TO PAY 3-MONTH RENT WORTH $600".
On that particular day, we were faced with the reality of possible closure of our school and Centre. This meant that our on-site volunteers would be homeless in a week's time. It also meant that our children would have neither a school to go to nor a place to call home in less than a week.
So you can imagine this, our volunteers were on the verge of losing a place they call home. The children, in particular were losing a place they have known as both home and school. As an organization, we were on the verge of losing our investment in time and material.
The agony and the despair in the faces of our on-site volunteers plus the sadness and the sorrow in the faces of our children filled everyone's heart with excruciating pain accompanied by sleepless nights. BUT, THE GOOD NEWS IS, you have stopped all that from happening. You came through for us! Your timely response and subsequent donation has given us a lifeline. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
From that day to date, a total of $621 has been donated by you in response to the appeal. We herein express our sincere gratitude for your kindness and pure demonstration of love. Your response has been unbelievably quick and sincerely encouraging. We will be forever grateful to you for not only believing in us but also investing in our children's lives and Family Hope as an organization. You have rekindled the old adage " A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED" in our hearts.
We have now managed to make and agreement with our lesser to allow us to continue with our operations as we wait for GG disbursement to be effected.
We thank you so much for being here for us, though remotely and "ANONIMOUSLY", and for being the global parent to our children. We thank you for being a true friend and a blessing to the entire Family Hope fraternity.
KIND REQUEST:
Can you help Family Hope finish acquisition of this land and ensure our children and on-site volunteers have a permanent home, a permanent school and a permanent Centre once and for all?
Can you organize fundraisers on behalf of Family Hope, share our project's link with family members, friends, colleagues, associates and other corporate groups to help us raise $40000 to achieve this goal?
Above all, please don't forget that you are a true friend and we value this friendship. Remember that you are a constructive partner and we cherish this partnership. You have done much already and if it were not for you, things would have gone south for us. Be blessed!!
