A handwritten thank-you letter from five Jewish children in New York has drawn a heartfelt response from billionaire businessman Michael Dell, who shared the message on social media Thursday evening and expressed his pride in the youngsters for appreciating a major financial gift intended to help millions of American children build savings for their futures.

Dell, the founder and CEO of Dell Technologies, posted a photograph of the children’s letter on X, describing it as a touching reminder of the purpose behind the multibillion-dollar commitment he and his wife, Susan, made to support the Trump Accounts initiative.

The letter, addressed to Mr. and Mrs. Dell, thanked the couple for helping children begin saving for adulthood and expressed the youngsters’ determination to make good use of the opportunity.

“We wanted to say a big thank you for your generous gift to our Trump Accounts. It’s very special to know that someone believes in our future and wants to help us start saving for it,” the children wrote.

“We will take good care of it and hope to make you proud one day.”

The note was signed by five children, Chaya, Chany, Toby, Yehuda and Benjamin, whose family name and New York location were concealed.

Dell appeared particularly moved by the final sentence of the letter, highlighting it at the beginning of his post.

“We hope to make you proud one day.” ❤️

“Five children in New York sent us this beautiful letter,” he wrote.

“They may not realize we’re already proud of them.”

The billionaire entrepreneur then connected the personal message to the broader purpose of the initiative.

“25 million children. 25 million futures. And 25 million reasons to believe in America’s next generation.”

“This is why we did it.”

The letter comes nearly a year after Michael and Susan Dell announced their extraordinary $6.25 billion commitment to provide $250 investment contributions to 25 million American children through the Trump Accounts program, established under legislation signed by President Donald Trump.

The initiative was designed to give children a financial head start by placing money into investment accounts that can grow over time. The Dells’ contribution was directed primarily toward children born between 2016 and 2024 who would not qualify for the separate $1,000 federal contribution available to eligible children born from 2025 through 2028.

According to the program’s administrators, the $250 contributions have now been deposited for approximately 25 million children. Eligibility was determined largely by the median family income of the ZIP code where a child resides, with the final qualifying threshold set at approximately $117,300.

The accounts are invested in funds tracking the broader American stock market, allowing the money to potentially increase in value as the children grow older. Families may also make additional contributions, subject to applicable limits.

The Dells announced their original commitment at the White House in December 2025, with President Trump praising the donation as an extraordinary act of generosity. At the time, the couple explained that they hoped the initiative would encourage children and families to develop long-term savings habits and greater confidence in their financial futures.
