Dear Habitat Supporter,
Looking for a truly unique holiday gift? What about giving a gift that will bring joy to people in desperate need? Meet 8-year-old Hope. She's never known what it's like to spend the holidays in a decent home of her own. Hope, her parents and siblings have been living in an old restaurant. Why there? Desperation. Like so many families in poverty housing, they had no other option. There are holes in the floor, the wall and the roof. And one child sleeps in the cramped old attic, with no heat. This year, because of Habitat supporters like you, there's a chance that Hope and her family will spend the holidays in their new home! "It would be a Christmas miracle," says Hope's mom. There are so many other children like Hope who need a decent place to call home. As we celebrate the holiday season and look toward the New Year, we see so many new opportunities – and challenges – to meet the urgent need for basic housing around the world. Will you help give us a strong start? Just think—with this gift, you don't have to wait in line at a store or find just the right size clothing. And this gift won't wind up on a shelf gathering dust. Instead, it is a gift that will keep on giving well into next year to help Habitat pay for the materials and other resources necessary to provide decent, affordable homes in partnership with families in need. Please donate today. Thank you for everything you do to support our work. I wish you and yours all the best this holiday season! With warm wishes and in faithful partnership, Jonathan Reckford |
