We’d like just a minute of time from your day,
To please play our video—we’ve something to say.
It’s short and it’s sweet and a bit funny, too.
It outlines a favor we’re asking of you.

Please play our message, and after you hear it,
We hope that you’ll give with a kind-hearted spirit.
Just click on the link at the end of this poem
You can give from your smart phone or laptop at home.
