Hi, Ms. Rowland
My name is Amber Sample, I read and liked what your charity is about.
But let me ask you this how do you feel about helping a family in ypour hometown. The reasom I asked is the mother lost her job due to the injuiries
She recived in two accidents that almost killed her. She has two teenagers and a set of twin grandson’s. This woman has been through so much her back is messed up in three places and her legs are stay in. Pain but she never complains about anything, she always help people when they need it she never ask for nothing inreturn. All she want is to be able to give her family aX-Mas . They haven’t had one in years . Her son is 18yrs old and myself I’m 17 teen and my twiin boys will be one on Thanksgiven. My mother doesn’t know I’m writting you, boooyyy cus she did I will get killed. Because she said God have you going thru things for a reason and that’s to see if you can handle it. Ms.Rowland she can but she still needs help even if you do anything just getting this off my chest helps me out a lot. Thank You for at least hearing me out Love You and your music keep it up.
