Main-body transcription of both pages of the letter dated 15 April 2025, retaining its historical wording and attributed quotations. Contact details and signature graphics omitted.

To Foundation FRST.

Dear Sir/Ma’am,

On behalf of Helen Keller Institute for Deaf and Deafblind (HKIDB), Mumbai, we extend our deepest gratitude for your generous support of our beneficiaries. As a pioneer institute in India and Southeast Asia for the education, training, and rehabilitation of learners with Hearing Impairment and Multiple Disabilities including Deafblindness, we are deeply appreciative of your commitment to our mission.

Since our establishment in 1977, we have grown from a small group of children and dedicated teachers, including our founder member, the late Ms. Beroz Vacha, to serving more than 200 students with a staff of 80 across three branches in Mumbai. This growth is made possible by the kindness and generosity of well-wishers like you.

Your contribution of 76 reflective Jackets and 18 raincoats, will immensely benefit our learners with Vision Impairment and Multiple Disabilities including Deafblindness. This support is crucial in helping them reach their full potential and live fulfilling lives.

We are inspired by the words of the late Dr. Helen Keller, who so eloquently stated, “Alone we can do little, together we can do so much.” Your generosity embodies this sentiment and encourages us to continue our work with unwavering dedication.

Dr. Keller’s philosophy, “A person who is severely handicapped never knows his own hidden source of strength until he is treated like a normal human being and allowed to shape his own life – for life is either a challenge or an adventure or nothing at all… I thank God for my handicaps for through them I have come to know myself and my God and my people,” guides our efforts to empower our learners. We believe that it is our collective responsibility to ensure the birthright of our beneficiaries.

We deeply value your partnership in this endeavour and look forward to a continued nurturing relationship that will benefit our beneficiaries. We extend our sincere gratitude to you for your support.

With best regards.

In the service of Helen Keller Institute for Deaf and Deafblind

Subject: Thank You and Appreciation Letter

Dear Madam/Sir,

On behalf of the Management, Staff and all the beneficiaries with vision impairment, we take this opportunity to express our heartfelt gratitude for having distributed customised and well-designed rainwear and jackets as part of your initiatives at Cheshire Home on 19th July 2025.

Through our Young Voices Programme, led by Mr. Darshan Kamble, Coordinator, we were able to mobilise about 40 persons with vision impairment, who have benefited from this distribution drive. The rainwear is very well thought of idea that will ensure visibility of visually impaired persons in public places by the public at large. This will also enable the other non-disabled/ sighted persons to identify and offer them assistance, if required. Thus, ensuring their safety and well-being.

We thank Madam Farha Naaz Ji, Fateh Ji for your presence and personal involvement, and the team of FRST Foundation present, for their involvement and evident intent to assist the beneficiaries through the distribution drive.

As mentioned to you during the course of your visit, we at Cheshire Home have only been a catalyst and an interface between those in need and benevolent people like you.

We look forward to more such opportunities and assistance for persons with disabilities who approach us for support and assistance.

With Grateful Thanks.

Dear Madam,

On behalf of The Victoria Memorial School for the Blind, I would like to express our deepest thanks for your donation of 110 safety jackets for our students.

Generous donors like you provide us the motivation to continue with our mission of empowering the Blind to be confident and productive adults. With your faithful financial contribution, you’ve demonstrated your deep commitment to our work of making a difference in the lives of the visually impaired and intellectually impaired students.

Safety jackets can be incredibly useful for visually impaired individuals when crossing roads. They offer features like reflective material, auditory signals, tactile indicators, smart technology, and increased confidence. These features enhance visibility, alert drivers, and provide real-time feedback, making safety jackets a valuable addition to assistive technologies. Your love and concern for the school is greatly appreciated.

Thank you once again for your generous support; we look forward to a continued relationship with you.

With gratitude!

Yours sincerely
For: The Victoria Memorial School for the Blind
