"I want to take this opportunity to thank you for making this holiday season wonderful. Thanks to the Amazon gift card I am now able to purchase a sofa bed. I recently reunited with my child and your donation will allow us to purchase something to sleep on. Being a single parent and having to pay for everything myself has not been easy for me. I am a returning student and this is one less expense for me. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely Clara "
