I’d like to thank you for sending money to Animal Helpers. I’m sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.
What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can’t walk or use your hands easily. Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I can’t use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day Last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.
After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dog’s name is Lucky — a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog helper” because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and understands many English words. He can understand me when I give him orders. For example, I say, “Lucky! Get my book,” and he does it at once.
亲爱的李小姐：
我想感谢您为动物助手组织捐款。我相信你知道这个组织是为了帮助像我这样的残疾人而建立的。你的帮助使我有可能拥有一个“幸运儿”，这对我的生活有很大的影响。让我告诉你我的故事。
失明或失聪是什么感觉？或者想象有一天你不能自由行走或使用双手。大多数人都没有想过这个问题，但是很多人都有这些困难。我不能自由使用胳膊和腿，所以我接电话、开关门或移动东西真的很困难。然后去年的一天，我的一个朋友帮我脱困。她和动物助手交谈，给了我一只经过特殊训练的狗。她还认为一只狗可能会让我高兴起来。我喜欢动物，我对养狗的想法感到兴奋。
带狗训练六个月后，就可以带回家了。我的狗叫“幸运儿”——，这是一个好名字，因为我觉得它很幸运。你知道，因为你的善良，我可以有一只导盲犬！“幸运”很聪明，能听懂很多英语的话。当我给他指示时，它能理解。比如我说“幸运”！把那本书带给我。“他会马上去把书带给我。
“幸运”是一只神奇的狗。如果你喜欢，我会给你发一张它的照片，我会告诉你它是如何帮助我的。再次感谢你改变了我的生活。
最美好的祝愿，
本恩史密斯
