New Jersey Girls, Maggie And Kate Traina, Write Letter For Grandparents And Get Instant Response From Obama
Posted in: Today's ChiliFor two New Jersey sisters, letter writing is not a lost art. In fact, their recent notes requesting help for their grandparents got an immediate response — from the President of the United States.
On Thursday, Maggie and Kate Traina, 14 and 11, were excited to learn that Barack Obama would be heading to Staten Island for a Hurricane Sandy recovery tour, according to the New York Daily News. The girls, from Storm Plains, NJ, quickly drafted letters to request he make a special stop at their grandparents’ home, which was destroyed in the storm.
“I hope you can make a difference in Staten Island,” said Maggie’s letter, written on a sheet of lined paper. “My grandma and grandpa’s house was all over the news.” The girl also told the President that in her school’s mock election she voted for him. The final vote tally? Romney 216 and Obama 624.
