Amazing response to Jose's need
Seven year old Alex had a lemonade stand and brought $33 to my door. I sold an aquarium for $40 on Craig's list. My sister is sending $500, and a brother did the same. Friends of a host family contributed $1,000; a nurse who travels with the COTA teams has sent $200, another sent $25. Two friends dropped off checks today, and another family who has adopted from Guatemala sent a wonderful donation. The list goes on....many kind people who have been touched by Jose's story.
Jose's foster mother took a photo of him thanking all of his donors. If all of our pledges come in on time (deadline is next Monday), we will be within $1,694.89 of our goal. In this economy, raising nearly $18,700 in such a short time could only be accomplished through each of you. What an amazing gift you have given Jose.
