Dear Mr. Gillis:

I just wanted to take a few minutes to let you know how the Franks Foundation's "Operation Fuzzy" program is flourishing, due in no small part to the HOPE grant being approved by the OVC. . . In four short months, we have expanded our services to five Richmond area hospitals, four additional hospitals throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia as well as one hospital in Tennessee and one in West Virginia. None of this would have been possible if it weren't for the OVC's support. I am deeply thankful for the support my Foundation has received from you and your office. Read the full letter.

Again, thank you!!

Polly Frank, Executive Director
The Franks Foundation
