March, 2007Thank you for replying to my letter and offering to send us a donation in August. We are all very grateful. Your donation will be of great help as our target is £1,000 to buy specialist equipment for the deaf-blind people I care for.

Thank you once again for your kind donation. It is much appreciated. Myself, all the staff and service users wanted to thank you, so please find enclosed a thank you card signed by the service users you have helped. Your donation has made our total £718 to buy equipment for Watery Lane. Good luck with all your fundraising, keep in touch and thank you for your kind offer of more possible donations in the future. Hope you like the card from our service users, who are deaf-blind with additional needs.
