Dear Bruce,

Over the past twenty-two years the Children's Dream Fund has fulfilled some very unusual dreams. After all, the minds of children can be quite creative. Jeremy's dream of having his grandfather's truck restored, takes the prize of uniqueness as well as offering a great challenge to the Dream Fund.

I don't believe we could have ever gotten the job done without the Pride crew!  All our efforts came to a dead end until someone suggested Pride. You were not only brave enough to take on the job but were always gracious about answering our questions, working with the family and trying to complete the work even when things became busy for you after 9/11/01.

Please convey our deepest gratitude to Dave and all the inmates involved in creating and restoring the 1964 Ford truck from (in our opinion) nothing. We appreciate their efforts and hope that the job did at least prove to be a learning experience for those involved. The restoration service that Pride offers brings a win win situation for all, the inmates and the customer. We have enjoyed being associated with you and would welcome another opportunity to partner with Pride on a dream.

And last but not least, the truck looks great and Jeremy is thrilled. A dream fulfilled and a job well done! Thank you!


Sincerely,
