Hello,
My name is Latanja Whaley and I am writing this letter to you with a heavy and pleading heart. There is no doubt that you may find this to be one of the strangest letters you've ever read, but desperation has taken over and i am reaching out to strangers that may have a kind and philanthropic heart. My daughter Taylor was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer last year. As a result she lost her hair, some weight, and thanks to the bullying she endured at her school, her self esteem and will to fight. As a result, I removed her from the school and began to home school for a bit. However, though she didn't want to return to her previous school, she still wanted to be around children her age. I bit the bullet and put her in a private school where she was not only welcomed with open arms by the staff, but the children were absolutely amazing. they were so accepting and kind and needless to say she felt right at home. My heart was put at ease. Then there was another road block. My husband was diagnosed with cancer in December. I can't begin to explain how absolutely overwhelmed I was with this news. We were at a complete loss. I cried and prayed everyday for my family, and I still do. As a result of these medical hardships, we have fallen behind on everything. I can make plans for the bills, but my biggest concern is that we have fallen behind on Taylor's tuition in the amount of $6,000. As I mentioned, this is probably totally bizarre to you, but it will break both of our hearts if she cannot return. She has been through so many drastic changes in her young life right now, I just want to keep her happy by doing whatever I need to. If you are a parent, I am sure you understand. I hate having to grovel, but there is no destination to extreme when it comes to your children. I am pleading for donations to help us get caught up on tuition. I am certainly not asking for donations in hand. I am asking that they go the higher education services for Taylor Whaley Frankford Friends School 4720 Carlisle Pike Suite 200 Mechanicsburg PA., 17050. The phone number is 1800-422-0010

If you can find it in your heart to help you have no idea what that will mean to us. However, could you just offer a response either way. I can be reached via email or phone at 267-252-8238.

Thank You for Your Time and Consideration,
La Tanja Whaley
