"I want to thank you for bringing the equipment from Elk Grove. BTW, I spoke to Pablo Sandoval’s Agent this morning and he asked what size of rental unit, This would be for the kids in Venezuela.
I truly appreciate the Handing Out Hope organization. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity. This email is a testament that all of the equipment your provided BWBF was forwarded to other organizations that are scheduled to forward them to the children of Nicaragua, or the Philippines."
