"Change the World" Materials Request

"My name is Aaron Kroll and I am a senior at Virginia Tech. I am writing you to tell you about a project that I am currently doing. My project was to "change the world", which seems like a he task. I chose to simply this and change the world for a local family. The family I chose is a family of four currently living in horrendous conditions. They have no windows, yes even in this weather, no insulation under the trailer, and holes in the floor. I was referred to you by a friend who thought you might be able to assist me in donating some items. I plan on helping install them but we need materials in order to accomplish our task. We are currently looking for windows 53" x 30", interior doors, 3/4" plywood for flooring, and kitchen cabinets and a double basin sink. All these materials can be used or taken out of another home as long as they are usable. I know times are rough for everyone but a family should not live like this with children in the house. Anything you can do will be a great help and I will include your name (if you choose) in my final report which will reach thousands of students and let you see my final report on the change I made. If this is something you could help with. Please let me know and I will arrange a meeting to discuss our needs. Thanks for your time and consideration."

Thanks again,
Aaron Kroll
