Have a Heart, Make a Pledge

Dear friend,

Greetings! It is with great thought and sincere consideration that Las Obras begins today the 2012 Write-A-Check fundraiser "Have a Heart, Make a Pledge for our Obras (Works) among Families". We face today's economic climate trusting in Divine Providence and in your generosity to increase our capacity to ensure hurting families can receive the exceptional services and quality enrichment programs at our new preventive healthcare and family life center: The House of the Works of the Mother of the Americas located on the corner of Greenville Avenue and LBJ. We sign our lease today!
 
At our center we provide a year-round, life-giving and welcoming environment offering a number of programs that benefit families. Our list of our accomplishments in 2011 show our commitment and passion to do more to strengthen the health and wellness of families. See past events under Our Projects above.
 
However, we must secure the necessary resources to make these programs accessible to them. This year's Write-A-Check campaign goal is to enroll 20 donors, beginning February 14, who pledge a tax-deductible $40 a month pledge (billed 3 months at a time) with 100% of the proceeds funding programs such as:

  • Children and Youth programs: Faith Connection; Healthy, Holy and Happy Kids
  • Women's Programs: Woman - Your Health Matters; Coffee Amongst Women, Reclaim your Peace.
  • Community Health Events: Woman - Your Health Matters; Healthy Lives 2020 Initiative, Day of the Golden Age (Seniors); Come Out and Play
  • Preventive family-centered health programs: Health and Wellness Life Project
  • Marriage, Parenting & Family Enrichment: The PERDON (Forgiveness) Process; Parenting School; Strengthening Families
  • Scholarships: Monies in the form of scholarships awarded to women and families who need assistance with program related needs (supplies, individual life coaching, one-day forgiveness retreat, support group facilitated by medical, behavioral health professional, and/or pastoral counselors, etc). 

The Write-A-Check campaign is a critical component necessary to fund these life-giving and pro-family programs that we make available in English or Spanish. Please consider participating in this fundraiser and sign up today! Without your contribution, we will not be able to offer the above quality programs that enrich the lives of all families at our Casa! We also have faith-based communities throughout North Texas that wish to implement our programs at their churches in partnership with healthcare providers.

Our mission is the Family. But we need your help.
 
We are asking you to please make a recurring monthly pledge of $40 (or other amount, billed 3 months at a time) for the critical needs we presently have to fund our programs. Or a one time gift donation to help us defray our operating costs of the center. We truly need both and appreciate the financial support you decide to entrust us with.

Join today and be our co-laborers and help make this fundraising a success so we may focus 100% on our mission. You may donate online here or I can personally pick up the check at your convenience. Please consider the importance of this request and donate what you can.

We really appreciate your belief in our work and would be honored if you would like to schedule a personal tour with me of The House of the Works of Our Mother of the Americas (Casa Las Obras de Nuestra Madre de las Americas) to learn more about innovative programs and projects for 2012 as we care for families in need and build them up to be healthy, holy and happy families!
 
Thank you for your kind consideration and generosity as they will be gratefully acknowledged and appreciated. Feel free to call me with any questions about our "Make-A-Pledge" fundraiser at 972-399-9393.

Con mucho cariño y agradecimiento,

María del Carmen Uceda
