Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Jeremy* and I am currently incarcerated in prison. I am writing to thank you personally for your support to prisoners and their families through programs such as the Christmas Angel Tree.
I have been in prison now for two Christmases and was informed last September about Angel Tree.
The first Christmas I spent in prison was the most difficult, upsetting and challenging time in my life as I couldn’t be there with my children or even provide them a gift to celebrate this special time of year.
I was raised in a home where Christmas was valued as the most special and magical time of the year. To be absent from my family and unable to even send my children a Christmas gift ripped my heart out.
After hearing about the Angel Tree program, I wrote to your organisation with the hope of my children being included. To my delight, my children were part of the program this past Christmas and received a present from me.
It brought a tear to my eye to see their utter joy and to think that, even though I couldn’t be there with them, I had been able to send them a present and watch them unwrap it during a video call.
Your organisation is such a Godsend for families like mine and the good work you do can not be underestimated. You help bring love and joy to the lives of young children with a parent in custody and the help you provide is much appreciated.
I want to thank you personally for this and for all the support that you provide prisoners and their families.
Thank you and God bless,
Jeremy*
