I’m writing to you because I am currently involved in a charitable event with the Habitat for Humanity of Orange County and Furnishing Hope, and I need your support. As you may know, the Habitat makes it possible for many low income families to own their first home. This year the Habitat is building eighteen homes, thirteen which are for military families. I am partaking in this unique cause by volunteering my interior redesign services.

It’s my responsibility to collect new or slightly used furniture and/or monetary donations to furnish and decorate the master bedroom and bathroom of the home that has been assigned to me.
Please join me in making the dreams of this family come true by making a $25 donation. Attached is a flyer with additional information and instructions on how to donate. You can simply log on to furnishinghope.org to make a direct donation or if you prefer to fax or email the form to me, please call me at (714) 709-1230. Please be sure to indicate my name and the information of the house which is #1-Red.
Because time is of the essence, please be so kind to submit your donation as soon as possible. Donations will be acknowledged in our program schedule. If you have any questions, please feel free to call me at (714) 709-1230.

You are invited to join us on September 25, 2010 for the Habitat’s dedication ceremony. Your attention and generosity is greatly admired and appreciated.

Sincerely yours,
Maria Acevez
