John,

Around the world, small-scale farmers work long days and dream of a life free of poverty and hunger. They feel isolated, alone in their back-breaking days.

You can reach out with a note of kindness and encouragement and say "I'm here. I believe in you." When we present our families with a card from loyal Heifer supporters like you, their faces light up with joy and appreciation.

I want to share a photo of one of our families receiving your letters of encouragement. Your words mean so much to them and that's why I'm inviting you to send another message today!

You see, they are moved — often beyond words — that a total stranger thousands of miles away believes in them and wants to help fulfill their dreams.

In a time when we are increasingly isolated, your words of encouragement are like a second gift that they often display proudly in their homes — a reminder that you care. Knowing you have faith in their ability to succeed gives them the strength to continue working hard.

Please take a brief moment to send your message. Your words will touch the hearts of the people we serve and serve as a treasured reminder that they are not alone on their incredible journey to break free from hunger and poverty.

Sincerely,

Caitlin Richard
Heifer International
