Hello dear Wendy,

Jose Rene was very happy to meet you and he is grateful that you write to him. Your visit to our country and to our house was very nice. We hope you can come back someday.

With much affection, says goodbye,

-Jose Rene and his aunt, Quircia

These were the sweetest letters ever!!

Jose's new bed

At the same time the letters and the photos arrived I also received a letter from the President of Children International, Jim Cook, thanking me for the kindness and generosity given to Daichela and Jose. He was delighted that I recently had the opportunity to visit them in the Dominican and enjoy time with them. He made mention of the special needed items I helped support and said Daichela’s family was delighted with the items and most grateful and that in the photo enclosed Jose looked quite proud of his new bed.

I’m very happy to provide them with smiles every once in a while.

Daichela's special needed items

I sent a request early this summer to Children International asking if there were any special needed items that Daichela, Jose or their family may need.

A few weeks later I received a letter response telling me that there were a few needs so I responded with the funding for those items.

I received letters from both of the kids and a few photos from each of them.

September's dear letters

Hello dear, Wendy,

First of all, this is to greet you. I hope you are doing well like me with the beautiful present you made (gave) to me; my pants and my sandals and shoes. They looked on me beautiful. May god bless you so much always.
With love and affection, says bye,

This was the sweetest little letter!

Hello dear Wendy,

This is to greet you and at the same time to thank you for the great gesture you have shown to my son, Jose Rene; buying him his backpack, pants and tennis shoes. They will be helpful to attend school. I hope God keep blessing you and your family

With much affection says buy,

-Kadilja and Jose Rene

I think this may have been one of the first letters Jose’s mother has written to me for him. I was very grateful to get her letter. :)
