The following email was received by Kathleen, Heal’s sponsorship secretary. This is one of the many emails she receives from sponsors telling us why they have chosen to support our charity.
Dear Kathleen
I have sent my completed sponsorship form off to you by post.
I just thought you might be interested to know how I chose Heal as a charity to support. I have supported various charities in the past and for many years sponsored a child through one of the larger ones but, like a lot of people, because of the size I felt rather disconnected with the operation. So I recently searched the web specifically looking for a smaller charity where I felt that the money I donated would go directly to the child I sponsored. That’s when I came across Heal and liked the sound of your operation and was particularly impressed that you mainly operate using volunteers.
I look forward to hearing about the child I will sponsor.
Best wishes
Janet Brooke
