"Thank you so much for your DCOP donation. With your gift, we are able to purchase much needed items that children require once they enter the foster care system such as beds, car seats, diapers and underwear. We are thankful that you have chosen to support our mission - providing essential items to foster, kinship and adoptive families for the children in their homes because every child deserves to be valued.
A simple thank you seems inadequate but please know that we are so grateful that you choose to support More Than a Bed. We cannot continue our mission without support from donors like you."
