“Dear Jon,

I enjoy your blog and reading about all the good you are doing. I enclose $5 to support your work – wherever it can do the most good.  I know it’s not a lot since I must conserve during these difficult times, but it is something from my heart to help. Bless you and Maria, Joanna (from North Carolina.)

(the bill is from before the Pandemic – it is disease-free.)

Thanks, Joanna, it is a lot and means the world to me that you would send me $5 at a time when you are conserving your money.

Letters like this are precious to me, and I hope you won’t mind if I keep your $5 in my wallet to remind me that there are good people in the would like you. I’ll take another $5 bill and use it to help buy gift cards for the refugee families.

The $5 letters I get give me hope and joy.

I can’t thank you enough, your letter lifts my heart.

I trust the health of your money. I don’t sanitize money, groceries, or packages from Amazon.

My doctor says people who do that have too much time on their hands and our watching too much news. Your letter honors me and I will do my best to keep the blog worthy of your good faith, and share the good.

Thank you.

(I appreciate the small as well as the large donations.  They will all be put to good use. If you wish to contribute to the good deeds we do,  you can do so via Paypal, [email protected], or by check, Jon Katz, Mansion/Refugee Fund, P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816.
