Dear John,
Happy 2024! I want you to know how grateful I feel for your support!
There is a rush at the end of every quarter to show that we can turn out our grassroots dollars, and so many of you answered our call:
☎️ So many answered our phone calls–giving for the first time or returning for a couple more times
💬 Many of you responded to our text messages and contributed
📧 So many of you responded to our emails
Our team reached out, and you responded! We don’t have big corporate backers or a long list of wealthy friends, but we have a coalition who reached out to their communities to multiply support, and for that, our team and I are GRATEFUL.
We have a grassroots foundation and strength, and every three months, we have demonstrated that we can turn out strong in money, too.
With a whole lot of gratitude,
Raquel
P.S. A special shout out to our staff, volunteers, and Eddie, who spent the end-of-the-year holidays celebrating every dollar that came in.
I took this picture of them as we were crunching numbers the last days.
