To Whom It May Concern:

We would like to personally thank you for your generous donation to Ripple Effect, Inc. Your generosity for our benefit auction on February l0th enabled almost fifty Lynn high school students to raise over $4,000, inspiring them in their venture to build four houses for needy families in Juarez, Mexico next month.

Thank you for your partnership in helping a dream come true. It is the dream of a Mexican family who has longed to have a safe and reliable house to protect them from the cold desert nights and the blistering desert noon sun. It is also the dream of many Lynn citizens who have been working to establish a new reputation for the city, one that reveals its incredible potential. At Ripple Effect, Inc., we know that the teenagers with whom we work are passionate about creating a Lynn community that is dynamic and committed to social justice. Thank you for supporting their vision for their community.

Once again, we thank you for creating a ripple effect that has reached farther than you will ever know.

Sincerely,

Jason L. Winchell
President
