To the editor:

Chris and I would like to give a big thank you to everyone who gave gifts of money towards our our home project from The Messenger article that was printed in the Aug. 28 edition.

A very special thank you to our friend Sheri Gangsted for organizing this with The Messenger.

This wouldn’t have happened without her. She has been a faithful friend through our journey.

We feel very blessed from the people that thought of us and have given. Mathew 25:35- comes to mind. God bless you.

As one good friend said this will be “The House of Love.”

We are still working towards our goal but wanted to say God bless you and thank you.

To help, send checks to Community State Bank, 1640 S.W. White Birch Circle, Ankeny, IA 50023

Make checks out to Kate and /or Chris Pliner (do not write fundraiser on check).

Funds can also be sent to via Venmo to username @ckhomefund 5550
