Dear Miss Li, Id like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped make it possible for me to have “Lucky”, who has f my life . Let me tell you my story. Being deaf to walk or use your hands easily is something that most people cannot . But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I cant use my arms or legs well, normal things like answering the telephone, opening and doors or things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to me . She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me to get a trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that Id love to have a dog. After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to bring him home. My dogs name is “Lucky”- a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, Im only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation! How does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he has been trained to understand different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! _ my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult ones like “upstairs”. Lucky is an amazing dog. Ill send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation is greatly _ and the money is well used to help people like me.
