Dear Paul,
We at Give BIG salute your
generous contribution to our effort to impact significantly the life of
Jessica Toresco, who desperately needed our help. As you know,
18-year-old Jessica was gravely injured in a car accident on May 11th
of this year. She was in a coma for eight weeks and suffered a traumatic brain injury.
Besides the hospital care she has received, she will need months of
rehabilitation to talk, walk, and care for herself again, an extremely
costly process for her single, self-employed mother, Denise Molina, who
runs Golden Gait Stables within the Sunshine Meadows Equestrian
Village.
The
urgent need of this one family spoke to a small group of people who
took a stand for giving Jessica the opportunity to regain her full
SELF: a vibrant, smart, and beautiful young woman. Our mission to help
Jessica restore her physical, mental, and even spiritual health would
have been IMPOSSIBLE without your generosity. Because of you and others
like you who opened their hearts to give of their time, talent, money,
or services and products, we raised over $20,000 for Jessica's medical
rehabilitation. Working together, we made a miracle happen.
The great humanitarian and anthropologist Margaret Mead had this to say about the kind of miracle we caused: "Never
doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change
the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Together,
we changed the world for Jessica, but we also truly experienced the
power, the real power, of being of service to each other. In fact, many
people who contributed to Give BIG did not know Jessica, and that fact
makes our success a testimony to the greatness of the human spirit.
Thank you again for being a committed citizen, for caring, and for reaching out to help repair Jessica's life. Your contribution made the difference.
With gratitude and respect,
Give BIG
