Hi Solveig!
I am so sorry this has taken me this long to get this thank you letter to you and your group. The families here have been so blessed by all of you, and I wish you could have seen the kids' faces when they each got to pick out a coat! We have been enjoying the arts and crafts and my employee who oversees the facility was so excited to get the new pillows and blankets. With the money that was donated, we are getting a shed to store all the outdoor riding toys. This is a big deal because in winters past we have always had to store these toys too far away from the family shelter to be able to pull them out on a sunny winter day. The kids get cramped in the rooms and this gives them a chance to play and get some energy out.
Please let all the Lutheran Women in Missions know how grateful the families and the staff are for their generosity and kindness!
