To my JAFCO Family, The thought of having my own car one day has been only a dream but since my life’s journey brought me to live at the JAFCO Village, I have seen other children get a car once they were on their way to college. I knew I would have to wait until a donated car came in and I also knew that a lot of other kids were waiting too. So my birthday came, and Aunt Sarah called me in to tell me that she was really sorry that a car had not been donated as we had hoped, but that a really, really nice bicycle had been donated. For my birthday surprise, they were about to present me with this really cool bike and guided me blindfolded outside to see it. They asked me if I was ready and when I took the blindfold off, there was a Toyota car with a huge red bow on it. Out of nowhere all the other kids appeared, everyone was cheering. I was so shocked and excited I was literally shaking. I thanked everyone and said “does this mean I am not getting the bicycle”? Everyone laughed. It was one of the best moments in my life and since that time I have been so independent going back and forth to school, work and spending time with my friends. As I have gotten older I am beginning to understand just how many amazing people it must take to ensure that JAFCO exists, people who don’t even know the children, but yet they take care of us. How do you thank someone for that, I am not sure. But, I am so very grateful to my JAFCO family for adding the car to the long list of gifts you have given me in addition to a safe and loving home and a future. With love, Alex
