Hi, my name is Brad Reed, and my daughter, Julia Reed, is a gifted painter. Two different groups of people in Ludington have asked to hire Julia to illustrate their projects with her beautiful paintings. Both projects are very Ludington, Michigan-based. Both projects are still a surprise, so I can't give you more details about them, but trust me, you will love them! Julia has worked the last several summers at Snyder's Shoes in downtown Ludington and has loved her time there. If Julia does these art projects this summer, she won't have time to work full-time at Snyder's as she has in the past. Julia will be a freshman this next fall at Grand Valley State University and is helping to pay for her college education and other expenses. Both groups with the art projects mentioned above will pay Julia, but more is needed to cover what she would make working all summer at Snyder's Shoes. So, I am asking if you would help fund Julia this summer so she can focus on creating amazing artwork that will last forever for both of these incredibly fun and awesome projects. Julia needs to raise $5,000 here to afford to do these projects. The money would help Julia pay for all her supplies and for her time.

Thank you so much for your consideration and any help you can give Julia!

Sincerely,

Brad and Julia Reed
