Two letters that accompanied recent donations to Change the Truth really got to me. One is from high school students, the other from a father two generations older… written (then forwarded to me) to his daughter who had asked him to consider making a contribution.
Please read for a wave of inspiration and an overall good feeling about people and their big hearts:
“The girls of St. Teresa’s Academy World Cultures Club would like to present Change the Truth with this money. After organizing a bake sale and raising awareness about your organization, we want all of our profits to go towards the children at the orphanage. We hope that you take this money to provide medical care for three children for a year, as well as purchase a bunk bed and/or uniforms for students who cannot attend school without them. You are truly making a difference in the lives of many impoverished kids, and we hope that this gift will contribute to that work. The purpose of our club is to explore the many cultures of the world, promote awareness and peace and appreciate all the diversity within our world. Please keep in touch with us on how we may have helped the orphanage if you can. We thank you for all you do.”
“In accordance with your request, I am pleased to forward you herewith our contribution to Change the Truth. I know it is a truly worthwhile cause and brings some modicum of relief to kids that would otherwise be abandoned. Of course, your mother and I admire your interest and concern. Really, it is something of a tribute that we did in fact raise you right in instilling a concern for those people a little bit or a lot less off than you – and that’s all to the good.”
