Dear Rev. Travers,

Thank you for your generous donation of $300.00 to assist us in our work with the women who come to our center. The funds will be well used to support our mothers and newborn babies who come to us for material assistance. Such gifts help remind the mothers of the great value their children are to all of us in the community.

Once again, thank you for our continued support and concern.

For IRS purposes, we confirm that no goods or services were received by you in exchange for this gift.

Sincerely,

Kimberly Carbonaro Kimberly Carbonaro Director
