"For a start, ..."?

(recipient's name,)

For a start, I admire and acknowledge you for entitled to giving, voluntary helping others, looking after them, felt compassion and do whatever you could to help. I would say that performing such considerable sacrifices are pleasing to God. In addition, to get ahead in life, Adam Grant once said, "Giving is the secret to getting ahead."
The point is that, a student by name/named …, has been transferred to your school the other day. I know him personally and his parents' income is low and he is eligible for free meals. Please help him with what you can. If you happen to know some philanthropists at your school, let them serve him free, or at reduced prices/significant discount meals. Besides, please register him, if any, in a program for those in need of financial help.

May God Almighty surround you with loving care, always and forever.

That's MUCH better, but it still needs more whittling to be native:
