Dear Donor of Project Homeless Connect,<\/p>\n

For as many times as I have heard the phrase \u201cwords cannot express…\u201d<\/em>spoken, I never thought I would find myself in the position in which I would actually find myself unable to come up with some words to mark an occasion.<\/p>\n

When I received the call from Project Homeless Connect that there was a possibility that I might soon be in possession of an Apple MacBook Pro, I thought someone was playing a cruel joke on me. When I got the call to come in and collect the MacBook Pro, I continued to be in a state of denial. But when I turned on the MacBook Pro and logged into the computer, I felt a sense of hope trickle back into my soul.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been homeless for several years and have had the majority of my possessions,\u00a0including an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad Pro and iPhone 7 Plus all stolen. I won\u2019t ruminate on the negative. I only tell you that so I can really tell you that your donation has wiped all of those negative feelings out, restored hope in my heart, and has enabled me to begin to pull my life together.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

So while words cannot express the overwhelming sense appreciation I have for your kindness, I will say, simply THANK YOU.<\/p>\n

Thank you a million times over.<\/p>\n

With the greatest appreciation & warmest regards,<\/p>\n

Michael J (PHC Participant)<\/p>\n
