Hi everyone

I´m writing this to say a big thank you to all the people that helped me to raise money, last
month a group of friends and me organized a ¨give away¨ event to help homeless people.

There were several people that helped this noble cause, they came and donated their
clothes, some food, or any other things they don´t use anymore. Also, I could get some
companies that served me as sponsors, they were very kind giving some stuff, too.
The purpose of this event was to make life easier for those people in need, we felt so happy to see those
people smiling and getting things they will certainly use, seeing this, my friends and I have decided to
keep on doing these kinds of events more often.

Thanks again for all your support, we really hope all of you could help us again in our future activities.
