This document is a fundraising letter asking for donations to support the 2018 Fresh Start Fund, which provides services to help homeless people. It shares the story of Alan, a homeless man who struggled with drug addiction for 40 years. The letter asks the recipient to make a two-month commitment by donating now to help with immediate needs like food and shelter, and donating again next month to support long-term services for recovery, job training, and counseling. The donor is thanked for their generosity and compassion in treating homeless people with dignity.

Dear Mrs. Sample,
“My life hit rock bottom. I was at the end of my rope.”
Alan, a homeless man, is sharing from the heart.
“For 40 years, I lived like an animal, feeding my drug habit. Society doesn’t give
people like me the time of day.”
To help people like Alan, please support the 2018 [Mission Area Name] Fresh
Start Fund. Your gift today will be a big help to our homeless neighbors.
I have included two reply slips, hoping you will make a two-month commitment
with [Mission Name]. Will you send a gift of $XX, $XX, or $XX today to help with
immediate needs like food and shelter — and then send another gift in February to reach
out with recovery services, job training, counseling, and other long-term care?
(over, please)

Your donation will help folks like Alan, who knows that many of his woes were
a result of his own choices. He started using drugs in an attempt to avoid the war in
Vietnam . . . but ended up in another war instead — against his addictions.
“I fought a war for 40 years, one that took a huge toll on me.” But now, thanks
to friends like you, Alan is a new man.
And he is the reason why, at the beginning of a New Year, I hope you will
support the Fresh Start Fund. Perhaps you might even consider making a monthly
commitment to keep these fresh starts coming all year long. (See the monthly giving
section on the attached reply slips!)
However you choose to help, your support will ensure that your struggling
neighbors are treated just as Alan described — as human beings, created in God’s image.
Thank you for opening your heart of compassion and treating homeless people
with love, dignity, and respect.

P.S. A fresh start begins with meeting immediate needs but then requires long-term help
for lasting change. Please support the 2018 [Mission Area Name] Fresh Start
Fund by sending your first gift today. Then, if you’re in a position to give again
next month, please use the February slip to send a gift for long-term care.
Thank you!
