💌 Thank You for Your Willingness to Help
Thank you so much for your willingness to write this letter of support.
It truly means a lot to me and my family.
This letter is part of my EB-2 NIW (National Interest Waiver) petition — a program that allows people who make a positive and meaningful contribution to education, culture, or society in the United States to continue their work here.
Through Zernoland, I have been creating Christian and educational materials for children since 2012. Over these years, more than 500 different materials have been distributed and used by families in the USA.
Most of our current recommendations come from Slavic communities who have been using these resources for many years. However, for this stage of the application, it is especially important to show that American churches, co-ops, and Sunday schools are also interested in and value our materials.
Your letter is therefore extremely important — it helps demonstrate that our work serves not only immigrant families, but also contributes to the educational and spiritual development of children and communities in the United States as a whole. This Letter of Interest is non-binding and does not constitute a financial commitment. It confirms that your organization is interested in reviewing/using Zernoland’s trilingual K–5 Bible lessons and, if piloted, in providing brief feedback on implementation and impact.
If the officers can see that these materials are meaningful and beneficial to families, teachers, and churches here, it can help us receive the opportunity to live safely in the U.S. and continue this mission that I deeply love.
Please include in your letter:
Who you are — for example: teacher, school director, pastor, co-op leader, or parent involved in children’s ministry or education.
How you know me or my material — for instance: you’ve seen or used Zernoland lessons, Advent materials, or Bible journals.
What impact or value you see in my work — educational (helping children learn), cultural (supporting bilingual families), or spiritual (helping children grow in faith).
Why do you believe this work benefits children, families, or your community — for example, helping parents and teachers make Bible learning simple, joyful, and accessible to both immigrant and American families.
You can use this Letter Template → as a starting point.
Please feel free to adjust or personalize it.
Thank you again for your kindness, trust, and support.
Blessings,
