“I was watching the news about the moratorium for rent ending at the end of the month. I thought about you and how you help me navigate through my crisis, I can share with you that things are good with me I am back on track and able to pay my rent on time with no issues. It was because of you going that extra yard to assist me, I am so grateful to you for your kindness because you didn’t have to do all that you did. I just wanted you to know that it was not unnoticed. I pray you are doing well and please continue to make a difference in people’s lives, you made a difference for me and I am forever grateful.”
“I’ve lived the story of what you & your colleagues do for people…for humanity
I needed help…
I was practically destitute, facing a looming eviction…
Nowhere to go…
I had no hope left…
You saved my life figuratively and literally…
With the amount of time that your generosity bought me, I was able to get respite…
Just enough to move forward with success….
I want to Tell the world what you do for people…
Relay the message that “There is hope”…”
