Please accept our sincere appreciation for your generous personal donation to support our COVID-19 coverage, via the Odessa American - COVID-19 Local News Fund. We are most grateful for your commitment to helping our local news teams in this time of crisis.

Please keep this written acknowledgment of your donation for your tax records.

Your support comes at a critical time for our operation and helps us keep our reporters working tirelessly covering the impacts of COVID-19 and other news across The Rio Grande Valley. We have continued to keep our ongoing coronavirus coverage free on https://www.oaoa.com/, in an attempt to provide vital information to our entire community. This pandemic has touched the world in ways only previously imagined, including many local businesses like ours. The shutdown of local businesses has directly impacted revenue we receive in the form of advertising. These are critical sources for our operation.

Thank you again for your generous support of local news.

Also, please consider extending your support by subscribing to Odessa American, or by purchasing a gift subscription for a friend or loved one.

Feel free to call us 1 (888) 693-7191. and we will be happy to assist you. Or, you may subscribe online at: https://www.oaoa.com/

Sincerely,

Stephan Thomas Wingert
