Dear Hardee Correctional Institute,

I would like to start out by thanking you for all the hard work and effort that your institute has put forth in making the beautiful wooden toys for the Law Enforcement Toy Drive.   Each year around the holidays, I become more aware of the needy children that we educate every day.  If it were not for the efforts of so many gracious individuals such as you, many children would not have received a gift at Christmas time.  I hope you can understand the huge impact that a small wooden toy can make in a child’s life.  The importance of this project is monumental to so many needy kids.  Every year the list of students in need seems to be increasing in number.  Because of this your services are greatly needed and appreciated.  Thank you so much for your special gifts.

Sincerely,
Tamara L. Taylor
