Letter to the editor: Goessel students commended for donation
To the Editor:
The Goessel High School senior class is to be commended for their generosity to domestic violence victims of Harvey County. Our communities should be proud of your recent actions.
Your class chose to give extra funds to the Harvey County shelter. These were funds which your class worked hard for and raised through fund raisers for your senior trip. We know that you could certainly have used these funds to benefit your class, giving class members extra enjoyment.
It is exciting to see young adults choose to help others and recognize that there are suffering women and children in our community who have very real needs. We want all of you to know that we are so grateful and thank you for your unselfish generosity and caring hearts.
Funding has become tighter since Sept. 11, and the receipt of this donation is very important to us. Your compassion and thoughtfulness for those who are abused is to be commended.
Thank you, Goessel senior class, from our victims, the staff, and board of directors.
Jan Sommer, Exec. Director
Harvey County Domestic Violence/Sexual Assault Task Force, Inc.
