"I believe that funding systems of assistance, while
very useful, do not create happy and viable lives. Our relationships with family, friends and
communities offers our best hope for fulfilling
lives. A life lived in fear or
isolation is a life half lived. By
working with an organization whose goal it is to make sure the most vulnerable
members of our community are not alone and have a friend, advocate, mentor—I
believe I can contribute to the building of a truly loving community."
