Margaret Richardson

Thank you all for the incredible generosity you've shown through this fundraiser. In addition to your contributions here, neighbors have stepped up to help support the church, and we are so grateful for the stability this will offer. My dad had an awesome birthday and I'm sharing some of the photos of celebrating him together! Seeing people come together in these different ways has meant so much to us. Thank you for your kindness, your generosity and for being part of this community. We are so grateful. Love, Margaret & John

Celebrate John Richardson’s 86th Birthday: Help Preserve Pleasant Vale Church For my dad John Richardson’s 86th birthday, I’m inviting family and friends to celebrate him with a gift that will last: helping preserve Pleasant Vale Baptist Church in Fauquier County, Virginia. Built in 1845, Pleasant Vale holds generations of local history. Preserving its building and grounds will help ensure those stories—and this special place—remain part of the community for years to come. In honor of Dad’s birthday, we’re raising funds to support that work through Friends of Pleasant Vale Church. Your contribution will help restore, stabilize, and care for the historic church and its grounds. If you’d like to help celebrate Dad’s 86 years, please consider a donation of any size. I’d also love for you to leave a birthday wish or a favorite memory of him with your gift. Thank you for helping make this birthday meaningful—and for being part of Dad’s life. With love and gratitude, Margaret
