“I received the very lovely framed certificate. It really wasn't necessary as I give without expecting anything in return. Since I haven't decided where to display it yet, it is currently sitting in a place of honor, on my kitchen island where I can look at it multiple times during the day. When someone comes to visit me, they will also see it and then I will tell them just how important it is to donate."
