Persuasive Letter To Thanksgiving
Dear <>,
Growing up in an abusive family left Chris with little to be thankful for. Drugs became his only means of escape . . . when he was only 12 years old.
His flight from the horror at home pushed him into rehab at 18. Homelessness. Then jail. At rock bottom, he recalls, “I was in so much pain, I hit my knees and said my very first prayer. It was, ‘Please, someone help me.’”
Imagine
Thanksgiving without food, home, or family . . .
And thank God with me that Chris found help here at the Santa Barbara Rescue Mission.
Right now, you can feed Santa Barbara’s hungry and homeless like Chris for just $1.51 a meal this Thanksgiving.
Thousands will come to us this fall for food and care—hundreds on Thanksgiving Day alone, for a wholesome meal with all the trimmings: turkey, stuffing, fresh vegetables, even pie!
…show more content…
That’s why I urge you to send your generous Thanksgiving gift today, as God moves your heart. It all starts with a meal and together, we can provide a hot meal and real hope for every $1.51 you send now!
<< We will take care of them like our own, as family this Thanksgiving Day, [Salutation] . . .
So please send your very best, warmest Thanksgiving gift of $[ask_array_xx] to feed [ask_array_aa] hungry people. Or give $[ask_array_yy] to share meals, safe shelter, warm clothing, and the hope of Jesus Christ with [ask_array_bb] neighbors in need.
Better yet—for all you’ve been blessed with in this beautiful community and country—send a Thanksgiving gift from the heart of $[ask_array_zz] or more to make sure [ask_array_cc] hurting and homeless, like Chris, know how much you care . . .>>
Enough to provide a wholesome family Thanksgiving

    Every Thanksgiving, my family gets up early to drive down to New York, where we meet with aunts, uncles, cousins, and my Grandmother. Over the course of the day, delicious smells materialize as heaping mashed potatoes, green beans sautéed with onions and turkey bacon, and sweet potato casserole topped with bubbling marshmallow join the turkey on the serving table as I breathlessly await the early dinner.…

    During Thanksgiving, there are so many amazing sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and feelings. There is mounds of delicious food and friends and family. The table is set and all of the delectable food is on it. I can hear people talking and arguing about if apple or samsung is better. When I eat, I can feel the mashed potatoes on my tongue and taste the sweet pumpkin pie in my mouth. I can smell the salty green beans and the fragrance of the turkey cooking in the oven. We all feel very hungry and thankful that we have the opportunity to have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner.

    As the first pilgrims arrived at Plymouth Rock and had a feast with the Indians, they shared a moment of thanks together. They gave thanks for all their blessings, thus, creating our lovely day of Thanksgiving. When Thanksgiving is thought of, the first thing that comes to mind is turkey and a plentiful amount of food. Thanksgiving to me, is the time to be together with the ones you care about. Coming together for a day to just be with each other and to catch up is what Thanksgiving means to me.…

    As the holidays come closer my emotions start escalating. Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years can be very exciting dates but also very thoughtful and saddening. Many times several things occur suddenly, not always good but not always bad. At times we aren’t prepared for anything else but good things to happen, without considering there is no sunshine without a little rain. Thanksgiving is right around the corner and it is about being thankful for anything we’ve had or have throughout our life. It isn’t about the material things “Oh because I just got a new iPhone, or a new iPad” it is much more than that.…

    Grandma Calls out “Dinners ready” and before you know it the dinner table is engulfed with all my siblings and of course papa. We all sit eager as ever, anticipating thinking and imagining how good the turkey is going to be this year. Everyone’s engaged in one another, talking joking and laughing around the table. It’s about as good as any Thanksgiving dinner can get, but as soon as grandma cracks open the oven the aroma of the freshly seasoned and cooked turkey floods the kitchen. It’s as silent as the nights whistle. She brings the comestible around with the help of Uncle Richard, as grandma is getting far too fragile and weak to do anything on her own anymore. We as family agreed her cooking skills are far too superior a thing to allow to go to waste. So whenever the opportunity arises, one of us is always helping grandma. Uncle Richard proceeds to slice the turkey ever so graciously making everyone at table froth at the…
