> Dear Denise and Patti,
> 
> I wanted to follow up with you regarding your affiliate's generous donation to our Hurricane Harvey Relief Fund. We have already utilized the funds you sent to assist three families in the Victoria area. Victoria is a small city about 75 or 80 miles southwest of Houston. The city was hard hit when the storm came ashore. 
> 
> Ursula Odom is a blind person who provides training to older blind people in her area. She and her family did not lose their home entirely, but they did sustain serious damage. Ursula is interested in helping us to form a chapter in the Victoria area, and she and I will be working together as soon as we both recover from our damage.
> 
> Melanie Trevino is blind and the mother of three college-age daughters. One of her daughter's bedrooms was severely impacted during the storm. We shared some of your funds with the family, and because her daughter lost much of what makes a bedroom special, we also shared some Bed, Bath and Beyond gift cards donated by one of our Iowa chapters to help make her room special again.
> 
> Khriste Punch is blind and the mother of four school-age children. The family actually lives in Houston, but they lost their home and had to relocate to Victoria. Khriste has family there. The kids will finish out the school year in Victoria. Khriste's primary concern was for her children. They lost all their clothing because they had to be rescued and could not carry much when they left. She has family support, and that is helpful. However, she wanted me to let you know that she really appreciates all the Federation has been able to do to help. 
> 
> I hope this gives you a glimpse into how we are trying to help, and I really want you to understand how much we and our families appreciate your unflinching support of our efforts. It means a lot to receive so much love and encouragement from our NFB family, and our Illinois affiliate been a major piece of our effort to help during this disaster.
> 
> Thanks, and love to all of you.
