Attn: Bobbie Merrigan, Executive Director
Dear Bobbie:
 As a representative of the Washoe County District Attorney’s Office, and most specifically, the Victim Witness Assistance Center, I would like to thank the Builders Association Charity for the assistance you’ve provided Victims of Crime.
For the last three years, the Builders Association Charity has adopted some of our Victims and their families for Christmas. The majority of the victims adopted, have been children victims of Sexual Abuse, or Domestic Violence. Victims, who have been brave enough to come forward and disclose the abuse, even if the offender was a biological parent. Unfortunately, these victims end up living in very precarious conditions and go through great hardship.
Because of the above, our office sincerely appreciates the efforts that the Builder’s Association Charity, and its members, put into giving these children and their families a wonderful Christmas. One of the families adopted, had a total of 5 children, one grandchild and the mother. The mother, as well as one of the youngest of the children, had been victimized by the mother’s boyfriend. When the offender was arrested, this family ended up homeless, and losing everything they owned. The wish list they submitted for Christmas, included things we take for granted, such as underwear and hairbrushes. The Charity came through with amazing generosity, not just the Wish List, but with gift cards for groceries as well. We cannot express how magical this Christmas was for this family.
In the past, we have also referred other victims to The Builders Association Charity for assistance with their immediate needs. We sincerely appreciate your organization never turning anyone away. 
Sincerely,
RICHARD A. GAMMICK
District Attorney
