President Carter, you were the first president I voted for when I was 18. I admired your character and kindness. I remember how you advised everyone to turn down the thermostat and put on a sweater and I still do that today as well as other energy reduction and environmental impact practices. I also admired you and your beautiful Rosalynn working for decades with Habitat for Humanity.

I was a hard-core conservative republican in my freshman year in college. I was impressed by Carter, even though I voted for Reagan. I sent a letter to the White House with the aforementioned info, and received a personal, hand-signed letter thanking me. Nothing but PURE CLASS from the Carters. And BTW, I'm no longer a Republican... 😅

It is heartening to see how President and Mrs. Carter's dedication to Habitat for Humanity served as a bridge, helping those who are comfortably housed understand the need for so many others to have partners in securing affordable and decent housing. I saw this as the executive director of the Philadelphia Habitat affiliate. They led others to awareness and compassion.

It was very rewarding to know that we were helping to simply, without obligation, bring joy to children who would not otherwise experience the joy of their very own playhouse.

When Jimmy Carter was elected I was so pleased, excited and wanted to help his administration be successful . I quit my job in Minnesota and moved to Washington to work for HUD where I was proud to serve under President Carter and the very able and caring people he appointed at HUD. I left for Maryland when his term was up knowing that the HUD programs that I managed to improve housing justice would not be the same under Reagan. I was pleased to have the chance once years later to talk to him and tell him what a great honor it had been to work for him and experience the goodness and search for justice that prevailed in politics at that time. He could not have been kinder or more modest. I loved Jimmy Carter and he inspired me to keep on trying to make the world a better place. We should all be challenged in the hard and mean times ahead to keep the vision of what real goodness and caring means.

Jimmy Carter and his beloved wife Rosalynn were among the most extraordinary and kind-hearted people we have ever had the privilege to meet. We were fortunate to spend a day with them and other community supporters at their beautiful farm in Americus, Georgia, and it was nothing short of magical. The day was filled with warmth and serenity, as they made us feel like family with their genuine humility and graciousness. The following day, we had the honor of attending their intimate church service, just a stone's throw from their home, where Jimmy led an incredibly moving service that touched our hearts deeply. We are forever grateful to them for showing us what true generosity and the spirit of giving truly look like. Thank you, Jimmy and Rosalynn, for being shining examples of compassion and kindness.
