Hi [Friend’s name],

With the holidays approaching, it’s important to remember those in need and I’ve found an amazing local charity—the SECU Family House—who needs our help on November 29th, which is #GivingTuesday.

The Family House is a sanctuary for patients and caregivers traveling to Winston Salem for medical treatment. Here they find a safe, comfortable, and affordable home away from home. Sickness doesn’t take a holiday, so many families are away from home seeking medical treatment over the holidays.

Health care is expensive enough, so a night at the Family House is an affordable $35 a night. However, a Family Assistance Fund is set up to help families who can’t afford the $35 a night.

Please join me in helping the Family House raise $1,500 for its Family Assistance Fund. You can help 100 families stay at the Family House with a donation this #GivingTuesday.

To help, you can visit familyhousews.org/donate.

Sincerely,

[your name]
