Donations Needed for Summer Fun!

Dear friends and family,

Some of you have already received my email about this, so if that's the case, please disregard this. And if you have sent me a donation, THANK YOU. I cannot tell you how much the kids and I appreciate it.

For those of you who haven't gotten my email, I am requesting small donations that will go towards fun summer activities and treats for the 120 children at the home. Their summer holidays begin in just a couple of weeks, so it would be nice to be able to do some special activities with them during their break from school. If you are able to donate just $5 or $10, I will use it towards supplying the kids with special treats that they don't normally get to enjoy, like ice cream, trips to the zoo and the cinema, and hopefully even a visit to Snow World (a theme park dedicated entirely to snow!) or Ramoji Film City (India's Universal Studios). By Indian standards, these theme parks are very spendy, but at only about $5 American per child, it's quite a bargain compared to our theme parks in the U.S.!

I know the economy is terrible right now and I'm sure you are hesitant to give away anything during such tough times, which is quite understandable. But if you would like to contribute any small amount, you can be sure I will put it to good use helping the kids to have some fun and memorable times. If you are willing and able to contribute, you can use Paypal to send the donation directly to the email address homemaed@gmail.com . I will be able to access the donations quickly and easily so that the kids can start enjoying the benefits of your generosity right away. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I hope you all are enjoying the arrival of spring!

Love from India,Mae
