A letter from The Scott Family:
In our family, we are trying to instill a sense of community and caring for humanity by discussing how fortunate we are and our ability to share. Our kids, ages 6 and 4 have shown interest and drive in raising money through doing chores and saving money from birthdays and Christmas to create a donation fund for people and animals in our community and around the world.
During the month of July, they decided to sell plants that we started from off shoots of our spider plant to raise money for a local charity. On the 4th of July, they set up a table and the plants in our front yard, and would engage people, tell them about the plants and about the organization that they wanted to send the money to, Blue Skies for Children. They raised a good amount that day but had several plants left over. So anytime someone came to the house they offered them a chance to receive a plant by giving a donation. After hitting up a couple of uncles and a set of generous grandparents, they managed to double the amount they had raised during the sale. They added money in from their personal donation jars and the total was $154.76. We told them at the start that we would match the amount they raised. Please find enclosed a check for $310.00.
We are very proud of our kids for their drive to help. They were very moved when we read the mission and about the programs that your organization provides and they are happy that there are people in our community giving their all to help people and children who deserve a better quality of life. We look forward to finding opportunities to volunteer as they get older, so this is not the last you will hear from us. Thank you so much for what you do. We appreciate you.
With Love and Sincerity,
The Scotts
