FINAL NOTES

First, please do not get your hopes up for an incredibly well-written Thank You letter going on-and-on about just how great you are, or even a simple Thank You letter at all. Although those feel good, that is not what this is about. You have done your part and God knows your heart in this! Just as we have personally sent anonymous "gifts" using our own site, all have been received as I can see that the checks have been cashed, most but not all have responded with a written display of gratitude. Now I am certain there is gratitude no matter what, who would not be thankful that they have received free money!?! Again, this is anonymous, it feels good to hear gratitude; however, that is not what this is about. It is all about the caring heart God gave you!

Second, a quick word of caution from our own life experiences. If you are trying to help someone because their life is a wreck due to addiction of any form, there is very little chance that your money will help and in fact it might do more harm than good. If this is the situation of who you are trying to help, it will take intentional involvement in their lives to try and get them the counseling and help they need, and this service might not be the best option no matter how great your intentions are.
