I apologize deeply for
the late thank you note. I hope that I
did not come off as ungrateful because that is the complete opposite of what I
am. Your blessing could not have come at
a better time. Just when I thought that
I would have to leave school because of finances, you made it possible for me
to stay. I cannot say to you enough, how
much of a blessing you were. I’m really
sorry for the late thank you, but life has been happening, yet this is no
excuse. Right before school started in
August, my family went through a very tough patch. But, thank you for keeping the dream alive
for another semester because, I was discouraged as the funds I needed for
school were no longer available. I
thought I would not be able to attend Xavier.
But, God made it happen. My mom
is trying to pay tuition by herself and worries she will not be able to make
ends meet. I really enjoy school and my
first semester GPA was 3.0. This should
have been better, but I was a little distracted and could have tried harder
also. But, I want you to know that you
are an angel and will have a special place in Heaven. I once watched a show where a man died and
came back. He saw God and was asked “what
good have you done in your life?” He
could not answer. But, when that day
comes, you can proudly say “I helped ______ ______ stay in school.” I thank you so very much! As you can see, the card was supposed to be
sent around Christmas, oops! I hope your
family’s holidays were awesome and full of memories.
Sincerely,
