Hello John,
It’s been some time since I last contacted you about continuing your support for our Addis Hope program.
Some have mentioned to me that a reminder is often needed since in today’s hectic world it’s easy, even with the best of intentions, for the request to be put aside for the moment and then forgotten. While I really value your support, I recognize that you may not be in a position to assist. If that is the case, I will continue to ask your prayers for our efforts to provide the first steps out of extreme poverty through education for the children of these truly deserving and marginalized families.
While I desire to return to Ethiopia as soon as possible, I realize that my efforts to keep the program operational are currently best served by my continuing to fund raise stateside. To that end, I’ve been able to arrange that donations to the program be made tax exempt if sent through the Christian Brothers Provincialate Development Office, P.O. Box 238 Lincroft, NJ 07738, mentioning Addis Hope.
In the last eleven years I’ve asked for donations of $150 to sponsor a child for a year. The sad reality is that at least double that is needed today because of the increase in the cost of living. If that previous arrangement continues to suit you, we will be delighted for your help.
I also realize that it may be tedious for some to write and mail a check, so if you are in a position to send $25 or $50 on a monthly basis by having your bank mail a check to the above address, it would assure the program of a steady income and do away with our hand-to-mouth uncertainty. This arrangement is also tax exempt.
God bless. Perhaps this could be put into Jasper Jottings, John.
