Dear Cynthia and A Child Waits Foundation,
It is with tremendous gratitude that I write this letter of thanks to you. Your grant enabled me to complete my adoption of the most beautiful, wonderful, little 3 year old from China. Bailey has been home with us for two months now and we can hardly remember our lives without her. She is a happy, easy-going girl who loves being a part of a family. Treatment for her vision issues has begun, and although her sight cannot be improved, she will receive a prosthetic that will enable her to live a typical life (which would have been impossible in China, of course).
Now that we are home and all the additional expenses are piling up (how can the addition of a 3 year old who eats like a mouse cause the grocery bill to double?), I am even more grateful for the grant from you. I hate to think how stressful it would be right now if I were trying to dig myself out of debt while not only accruing medical bills but taking time off from work to help my daughter adjust.
Thank you so much for being one of the few granting foundations that considers single parents. And thank you for considering my application and granting an amount that truly made a difference for us.
With Kind Regards,
Mishelle R.
