A wedding invitation in “what we believe in”

Here is a letter we received from Priyanka K from Texas, it was such a refreshing and sensitive thought and I must share with you.

Subject: Wedding Donations

Hello,
I am Priyanka I am getting married this year in December. My fiance and I have jointly decided that we will contribute the gifts we collect (cash) at our wedding to a noble cause. We are currently looking for trusts and foundations who can fulfill this wish. We thought your society would be a good fit to serve this cause. I have looked at the website and am much impressed. Kindly guide us to make a difference in somebody's life.
Thank you.

Priyanka

All of us have attended weddings, sometimes they are lavish and many times the gifts given are not of great use to the couple. Don’t you think that we can have such pragmatic and wonderful approach for starting a married life together! Just imagine a wedding card which reads


At the end of the day your guest is happy that he has given something and you are happy that you have given something to society. Imagine the good wishes you receive for this simple and touching gesture. In fact such good thoughts and deed from ordinary people keep the world going. I definitely feel that this is a message which needs to spread across the whole world, India or abroad.

I really believe that good causes begins from good people, and at the same time it has to be done early and as soon as possible. One incident happened in front of me, my neighbour Mrs nandita Mukherji and her 3 yr old daughter lived very happily, nandita is a divorcee and works in a small firm. Her daughter mishta was suffering from 'ALL', that is acute lymphoblastic luekemia and was admitted in nanavati hospital, since their family economic status was not good. Her mother decided to take help from trustees. She submitted as many documents they told. She use to call so many people to help her daughter. She got small amount of help from office, friends. But her requirement was more. Last month her daughter died, u know why b'coz she didn't get proper help from any of trustees. So pl even i request u people, that pl do help as soon as possible.and save innocent childrens.
