St. Patron’s School depends on your support
To clothe the Native children, care for, feed,
And to provide affection of the sort
We understand all human beings need.
Enclosed in these white envelopes, please find
Dreamcatchers in a popsicle array
Of shades, to clear the nightmares from your mind,
Encouraging the sweeter scenes to stay.
Made in China—for child labor laws
Prohibit manufacture at cheap rates,
But we have found donations to our cause
Decrease without such gifts, within the States.
Along with it, accept this lovely pen
With which to write your generous relief.
The Lord reward you, ladies, gentlemen,
Restore your faith, and strengthen your belief.

We launched the First Things 2023 Year-End Campaign to keep articles like the one you just read free of charge to everyone.
Measured in dollars and cents, this doesn't make sense. But consider who is able to read First Things: pastors and priests, college students and professors, young professionals and families. Last year, we had more than three million unique readers on firstthings.com.
Informing and inspiring these people is why First Things doesn't only think in terms of dollars and cents. And it's why we urgently need your year-end support.
Will you give today?
