Thank you letter from Hope House Children’s Respite Hospices for Master’s £11,668.10 contribution

With facilities in Shropshire and Northern Wales, Hope House Children’s Hospices care for more than 320 terminally ill children and their families. A July 2009 golf tournament in Wales organized by leading UK ferry company Stena Line Limited and co-sponsored by its contractors and suppliers raised over US$49,000 for Hope House, bringing the charity group to Supreme Master Ching Hai’s attention.

In August, Golden Year 6 (2009), Master lovingly contributed US$20,000 to the Hope House Children’s Hospices. After receiving Her check, the organization’s fundraising manager, Sarah Kearsley-Wooler, sent Master a beautiful letter of deep gratitude, thanking Her on behalf of all the families and children who will benefit from Her loving kindness. We are grateful to Hope House and its fund-raisers and staff for their noble efforts. May God bless these compassionate, caring people and their patients.

Flying Bike Crosses the UK for Diabetes Research

On August 1, Golden Year 6 (2009), John Carver bravely embarked on a 1,475-km (917-mile) journey from one end of the UK to the other on his flying bike called a “flyke.” It took him eleven days to cover the distance between Land’s End, Cornwall, and John O'Groats, Scotland.

Mr. Carver is a school teacher and his motive for undertaking the trip was to raise funds for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), a charity devoted to finding a cure for diabetes in children. Supreme Master Ching Hai supported Mr. Carver’s noble effort and bravery with a gift of £5,000 to help the charity. John wrote in a thank you letter to Master, “Your contribution was so unexpected but completely and utterly heart warming—thank you so much.” JDRF was also thrilled to receive Master’s generous contribution and expressed their deep gratitude in a personal letter.

John intends to take another trip on his flyke in the near future to raise more money for his favorite charity, and we wish him great success and many blessings in his next endeavor!

Thank you letters and receipt from the JDRF and Mr. John Carver for Master’s £5,000 contribution
