President Ronald Reagan sent note and check to 11-year-girl

In 1986, an 11-year-old girl named Lisa wanted to help the homeless, so she reached out to the free world's most powerful man, asking that he sponsor her in a charity event.

President Ronald Reagan replied with a heartfelt note and a check for $50.


I am very proud to sponsor you in the walkathon,” Reagan replied on White House letterhead on Aug. 26, 1986. 

“Thank you for asking. I know you’ll walk the seven miles and the enclosed is to help the cause you are serving. God bless you. Ronald Reagan.”
