ENGLISH LETTER:
Dear Donators,
As you read this letter under the warmness and comfort of your home, hundreds of people out
there are struggling and suffering from the deadly combination of the scorching heat, freezing
nights, and starvation. Facing risks of not surviving another day in the lonely streets of
Semarang City, these people, unwanted and abandoned by their own families, have nowhere
to go and are marginalized from society, as they are seen as “different”.
But what actually makes them “different”? Just like all of us, they are all human beings and
deserve exactly the same as what we deserve. The fact that they possess disabilities, whether it
is physical or mental, should not be the reason why they can be rejected from society and left
all alone to wander aimlessly. They should never have been treated the way they were, and
they should all be given the chance to live just like everyone else.
It has been many years since the establishment of The School of Life Foundation. Here, the
foundation provides a home and a community for those who are often neglected. Everyone at
this foundation is always welcomed and embraced, and is living a much better life under the
care of Ibu Priska, the founder of The School of Life Foundation. Currently, they are
accommodating more than 60 people, yet they wish to take care of more and want to reach out
to those that are suffering and isolated, in light of giving them hope for a new life they deserve.
However, this is definitely not an easy task. With the pandemic, the difficulties the foundation
is facing became even more pronounced as their funds were gradually decreasing. There are
still so many people that desperately need help, yet too little resources to save them all.
Just like our name, To The Rescue is indeed going to rescue and help those afflicted and
oppressed. We cannot just sit back and watch hundreds of people die hopelessly, but instead
we wish to become their beacon of light. Together with your help, we will make the
foundation’s dream a reality. To give everyone the opportunity to live a better life, and to
establish a home they never had. We welcome donations in any form and in any amount,
because we believe that whatever you give, will make a huge impact in the lives of many. Let
us all help our fellow brothers and sisters, and restore faith in humanity.
Yours Faithfully,
To The Rescue Charity Program
