Upon learning, I foolishly kept the thank you note to myself, as I was told it wasn't acceptable. In case you don't remember me, I'm the guy who came with Michael Braverman invited by Josephine to celebrate her husband's birthday. I drove the black Audi. And glibly joked with your wife of my needing my english to japanese translation ap on my phone just to use your toilet! So, a belated thank you. I'm "bothering" you not as someone with their hand out, as I've never asked anyone for a dime, but as another guy who has small children that look to them for proper care! Incidentally, I'm forgoing my Christmas to head up to Newtown to bring some toys, lend a hand or anything else I can think of- even if its just to lay a wreathe in remembrance. Bill, you asked me what I do, and I embarrassingly declared I was a banker by trade who now runs a non profit. Look who I was saying that too! I humbly try to help kids, and have dedicated my entire being to doing just that. As I said, I'm going to Newtown tomorrow, is there anything I can do for you while I'm there? Through my foundation, I hope to build a center much like the Children's center in Ireland after their children's shooting and hold an event. While I'm in Newtown, I'm hoping to also figure out a way that I can ensure these kids will not have died in vein. I also ask for any assistance because I do realize how foolish I may appear- I'm just one guy. But this guy has the heart of 50,000. I'll close with saying that it was a great, great honor to have spent the evening with you, and your family at your home. My entire being I believe had prepped me just to have made your acquaintance. If we were to have never met again, or I had the honor to someday work beside/with you in non profit... the gratitude would forever remain the same. That evening, someone like you serving me my dinner has forever reminded me that I matter and one person can make the world better. Michael will kill me for reaching out, but as our nation mourns over the children senselessly lost, and having children of our own of similar age, how can we not try to help?? It remains about those lost and not about us. I've spent the morning with Do Something, and forwarded the letter I had sent. It clearly states my intention and what I'm taking on. Best, John M.

The letter you attached is addressed to Do Something, Brook Shields, and Liv Tyler and I still do not know what you’re asking for? Are you asking me to forward the letter to Liv? I do not represent Brook Shields and have no connection to Do Something. If you spoke to Julianne what is it you are asking of me? I’m sorry but this whole chain of communication is very confusing and does not make sense to me.

I live in the West Village, and have become pretty friendly with many of our neighbors including some pretty well known talent. I just ran into Julianne Moore again, and asked if she'd be interested in joining forced again for Sandy Hook. She, of course said yes. I'm very excited about doing something and diving in for the greater. I only hope you all will share my interest. I'm going to also post my letter to you- seeing it came out so well. I have close to 300,000 folks who "like" what I do. Best, John Sent from my iPhone |
