Dear Friend,

Thank you for visiting my personal fundraising page and for wanting to join me in supporting an extraordinary organization, NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans.

They train the best assistance dogs in the country, and with these dogs they provide the gift of independence to people with disabilities.

Right now they are working on rescuing dogs, training them, and they have a list of good people waiting for a dog, including young veterans who are back from Iraq and Afghanistan.

But they need our help. They're a non-profit organization and they rely on generous folks like you and me. 

A generous couple in California has offered to donate $2,000.00 if NEADS can raise at least that much through their 2009 Holiday Matching Gift Campaign.

Please make a donation. Any amount will be greatly appreciated, and no gift is too small.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.

If you prefer to send a donation directly to NEADS/Dogs for Deaf and Disabled Americans, P O Box 213, West Boylston, MA 01583. Please indicate my name on the memo line of your check. For questions, please email me or call NEADS at 978-422-9064.

Thank you for your support ~ and please don't forget to forward this to your friends and family! 

Many, many thanks.   

Yours sincerely,

Rick Cram
