Dear Huyen,
The entire community of Victoria County, Texas is so very grateful to the Tu Bi Foundation for reaching out and helping 110 families here begin rebuilding their lives after Hurricane Harvey’s devastation.
The foundation’s compassionate and generous contribution will long be remembered by each of the families receiving your $250 gift, as well as by our local government and the organizations working to help people hurt by the Hurricane.
Tu Bi’s initial gift of $25,000, gratefully accepted by the Victoria County United Way on behalf of the Victoria County Long Term Recovery Group, provided $250 checks to 100 families here in desperate need. Then Tu Bi very generously brought 10 additional $250 checks Saturday so that even more suffering families benefit from your compassion.
The joy and happiness on so many faces during Saturday’s presentation at the Victoria Community Center showed the hope each family has for the future with your help. We heard from so many of the recipients how grateful they were for your gifts and for your compassion for their suffering.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts and hope our friendship will grow even more in the future.
With grateful thanks,
Dolly Stokes
Executive Director
