Go Ashlei

Jody and Kathy Victor shared this nice note from the U.S. Dream Academy and asked I share it with you.
Kathy, we received a letter today from Ashlei Carlson the 11 year old daughter of Bob and Bobbie (Robert and Barbara of Hackettown NJ) - IBO's in your network. She wrote a beautfiul letter to Wintley about how she had heard him sing and talk about the Dream Academy. She said that as she talked to her mom to find out more about the Dream Academy she told her mom "more should be done for the children whose parents have made really bad choices which now means they might not have a chance to become the best they could. I mean they need to have a dream and work towards that dream." She went on to say that on the ride home from Virginia she tried to figure out what she could so. So she and her friends started their own jewelry making business to raise money for children of prisoners. She booked her first arts and craft show and made $100.00 which she sent along with the check. We were so touched by her letter, the check and a picture she enclosed. We scanned it and it is attached to the email. I will also fax you a copy of the letter. We should find a way to highlight this young lady's work through the Quixtar network. This really made our day!!! Just wanted you to know. The picture is great - Ashlei is on the left. We are going to have Wintley send her a handwritten note to thank her. Diane
