Dear Deborah,
Thanks to you, we are able to have a comfortable place for our children to live and learn this year. Last Monday, Michael and his sister, Janet, celebrated Michael's 9th birthday with cakes and cards here. Thank you for your kind gift of $1，000 to Children's Residential Services of Greater Boston. For the homeless children like Michael and Janet in our center, your kindness makes a difference to them.
The children can't wait to use the computers to do their homework and chat with their friends! The computers are part of our excellence (优点) in Service Campaign.
We would like you to visit our "home", so you can meet the children. We love to show you around our "home". The children also enjoy meeting visitors.
Janet Teebs, our development director (负责人), is always available to welcome you, or to answer any questions you may have.
You are part of their lives.
