Dear Supporter of Chairbound Hunters,
First, I would first like to apologize for the tardiness of this letter.  I would like to sincerely thank you for your support of Chair Bound Hunters.  Without the help of great people like yourself, it would be nearly impossible for such an organization to continue existence.  It does not matter how small a contribution is given, it helps in a big way.
Chair Bound Hunters is a great organization to do what they do.  They gave me what will probably be my only chance to hunt mule deer and pronghorn.  I was also lucky enough, with the help and guidance of Al McCarty, to actually harvest a trophy of both.  For as most hunters know, the joy of the hunt is simply being in the outdoors in the pursuit of your quarry and the filling of your tags is just the icing on the cake.  For some it may not seem like much, but it gave me a chance to do something I could only of dreamed about doing without the help of an organization like Chair Bound Hunters.  Just to let you know a little about the person you have helped, I am a C5-6 Quadriplegic.  I broke my neck playing Lacrosse three years ago.  I am now twenty-one and working through college at the University of Houston Downtown.  I was an avid hunter before my accident and do everything that I can to get back out in the field when possible.  Because of the limitations imposed by my disability, it makes it hard for me to go hunting purely by myself.  It takes the help and generosity of others to make it possible.  I would again like to sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support of Chair Bound Hunters and hope that you are able to continue your support in the future so that they may continue to help others as they have helped me.
Sincerely,
Chase Swonke
