I cannot express how happy and proud I am that people have listened to me.  We have raised $1,235 in our campaign . . . and I see that as proof that there are many of you out there who want to help me make a change in the world.  Thank you.

You have let me be myself - my hardbitten, impatient, intolerant and frustrated self - and have decided that what I make and what I give is reason enough to forgive me my faults.  I don't think there is any kindness in the world greater than to forgive someone their faults.  So thank you again.

Please, I ask you, if you have not stepped forward already, reconsider.  A little sponsorship wins you back a fine reward and the gratitude of someone who will always be straight and honest with you.
