A Letter of Thanks from Curtis

Below is a letter from the Social Worker at Curtis Elementary in Chicago. I want to share this with you so that you have some idea of the impact of your efforts at Curtis and elsewhere!

Dear Mr. Flesher,

I know email is a bit impersonal and I assure you a formal thank you letter is on its way, but I wanted to be sure and send you a more prompt thank you for your tremendous generosity. I sorted through the uniform shirts today and am amazed and impressed by all you have given to our children and families here at Curtis School of Excellence. We had a “Back to School Barbeque” last week and were able to give backpacks filled with your supplies to many of our students. The majority of the supplies you donated will be given to teachers to distribute to students. Instead of handing out a “supply list” with items for parents to purchase, students will receive actual supplies on the first day of school. We are incredibly grateful.

In addition to distributing the school supplies, we have also begun to identify children/families in need of uniforms. We have designated at least 20 uniform shirts to specific student already. Your generosity has already had a deep impact on our children at Curtis School of Excellence. Thank you for your kindness, generosity and willingness to help. You are a gift.

With Gratitude,
Mara Lindsay
