Dear Miss Li,
I’d like to thank you for sending money to “Animal Helpers”, an organization to help disabled people. As you know, you have helped make possible for me to have “Lucky”, who my life with pleasure. Let me tell you my story.
Being blind,deaf,unable to walk or use your hands easily is something most people can’t imagine. But there are many people who face these chanenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs ,normal things like answering the phone，opening and shutting doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of said that she would like to help me out. She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see if it would be possible for me a specially trained dog. She also thought a dog might I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.
After six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to him home. My dog’s name is “Lucky”-a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” your kind donation!
does Lucky help me, you might ask? Well, he to understand different instructions. For example, I say,”Lucky! Fetch my book,”and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, some difficult ones like “downstairs”.
Lucky is an amazing dog. I’ll send you a photo of if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for “Animal Helpers”.

I do remember watching him put some butter on that bread. He as usual, every single bit.
After dinner, my mum said sorry to my dad for burning the bread. And I never forget what he said, “I burnt bread, dear. It doesn’t matter at all. ”
