Thank You Letter from Safe Haven
A note of thanks from the Executive Director of Safe Haven, Dan Saad dated January 5.
Thank you for the donatio to Safe Haven. The Thanksgiving meal, the cookie decorating and the crafts are greatly appreciated. The residents and staff enjoyed the food and fun.
As Safe Haven continues to meet the needs of youth in our area, funding sources are disappearing or are tapped to their limits. Our continued work is made possible by individuals and organizations who help us whenever they can. Together we can make a difference.
Thank you again for reaching out to support our organization. Your support goes a long way in enabling us to treat the kids we serve with love today, so they don't treat us with hate tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Dan Saad
