Dear close friends & family, 
Thank you for considering making a charitable donation for my 13th birthday.  I have chosen the non-profit Portraits of Hope for a few reasons.  One is that they support kids who are sick or hospitalized by bringing art projects to them. Also, they involve communities to help which I have done and it is really fun. We painted colorful panels that helped local animal shelters look bright and cheerful and hopefully helped increase interest in dog and cat adoptions. 
Thanks in advance.   
Love, Abbey
