There are not enough words that would describe the gratitude in our hearts for your generosity! I am sure the beneficiaries will not only appreciate the support but also constantly be praying for you! Just like Mother Teresa, WE, as the liaison between the Diocese of Olympia and the beneficiaries, are “just pencils in God’s hands. “We are called to be the “Salt and Light of the World’. Were it not for your support, the “salt” would lose its taste!
Again, thank you for
May God bless you and have a splendid day!
