I would like to express my appreciation for the financial gift of $200 that I will use toward purchasing tools for my career as a CNC [Computer Numerical Control] Machinist. For the past five-and-a-half years because of the economy I did not have steady employment. To better my prospects, I decided to enroll in the Machining Technology Program at Chemeketa Community College and will be receiving an associate degree this coming month. The tools will enhance my search for employment.

Thank you so much for helping me with the gas card. I have been in a rough situation and this helps me more than you know to be able to get to job interviews so I can be self-sufficient.

Thank you so much for your donation. Without your help I would be unable to obtain my OLCC [Oregon Liquor Control Commission] and food handlers card at this time. God bless all of you.
