Dearest Donor,

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. On behalf of Hearts & Hands of Kittitas County (formerly Hospice Friends), I would like to express our deepest gratitude for your past support and partnership in serving seniors with disabilities, chronic illnesses, and terminal illnesses in our community. Your generous contributions have made a significant impact in improving the lives of those in need.

I am writing to you today with an urgent request. As our organization strives to meet the growing demands of our community, we are facing unprecedented challenges due to rising costs and limited funding opportunities. Over the past year, our client load has surged by a staggering 68%, emphasizing the pressing need for our services.

At Hearts & Hands of Kittitas County (formerly Hospice Friends), we are dedicated to providing free incontinence products and durable medical equipment to seniors who are most vulnerable and unable to afford these vital resources. However, with inflation driving up costs and straining our already tight budget, we find ourselves in dire need of assistance to sustain our operations and expand our impact.

Your previous contributions have demonstrated your commitment to making a difference in the lives of those facing health challenges. Today, I humbly request your support once again to help us continue our mission and provide critical assistance to seniors in need.

Your generous donation will directly contribute to the purchase of incontinence supplies and durable medical equipment, ensuring that seniors can maintain their dignity, independence, and quality of life. With your help, we can alleviate the financial burden they face and provide them with the necessary resources to navigate their daily challenges.

Every dollar you contribute will go a long way in helping us make a meaningful difference in the lives of seniors who rely on our support. To give you an idea of the impact your donation can make:

A donation of $50 can provide a month's supply of incontinence products for a senior in need.
A donation of $100 can help us purchase essential mobility aids for those with limited mobility.
A donation of $250 can support multiple seniors with both incontinence supplies and mobility aids for those with limited mobility.

Hearts & Hands of Kittitas County (formerly Hospice Friends) is a registered nonprofit organization, and all donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Enclosed with this letter, you will find a donation form for your convenience. We kindly request that you consider a gift that aligns with your philanthropic goals and the level of impact you wish to make in the lives of seniors within our community.

In addition to your generous financial support, we would also be grateful if you could help us spread the word about our cause. Sharing our mission with your network, friends, and family can help us reach more individuals who may be interested in supporting our work.

Thank you for considering our request, and for your unwavering commitment to making a difference in our community. We firmly believe that together, we can continue to provide vital resources to seniors facing significant challenges.

Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 509-968-5117. I would be delighted to provide any additional details or arrange a meeting to discuss our organization's work further.

Once again, thank you for your support and compassion. With your help, we can bring comfort, hope, and dignity to the lives of seniors in need.

Warmest regards,

Bridget Wood
