In Haiti, Annie was abandoned by her mother. Too poor to feed her, her mother walked off, leaving Annie alone in the street. Annie is barefoot and her clothes are threadbare. She receives love at the orphanage, but little else. They can't afford decent clothing for her and the other children.

Sharlene is another child you will help through your gift. She is only five years old, but old enough to remember how she was neglected. At the Maxfield Park Home in Jamaica, her bed is a crib with peeling lead paint. There are no blankets. No sheets.

You are such an important part of Food For The Poor, I don't know how I can help all these orphans without you. I promised the 50 orphanages food, baby blankets, diapers, clothing and shoes, sheets and other essentials they need. These poor children are so hungry and destitute that a hot, nutritious meal means more to them at Christmas than toys.

It will be a great loss to the children and the orphanages we need to help if we don't match this gift of $400,000. That's why your gift this holiday season is so crucial.

I've enclosed two Matching Gift Checks made out to Food For The Poor for two different amounts. Here's what I need you to do.

Help us match the gift by sending an amount that matches one or both of these checks, or fill in the enclosed blank Matching Gift check for the amount you are led to give.

Remember, your gift for these poor orphans will be doubled in value through this remarkable matching gift opportunity. We'll be able to help thousands of orphans ... María in El Salvador ... Sheldon in Trinidad ... Glen Roy in Grenada ... Annie in Haiti ... Sharlene in Jamaica ... and many, many more.

-3- over, please
