Dear Friends,
This weekend is the NAMI Walk that I am participating in.
The goal
that organizers hope for everyone to achieve is $100.00. I
personally
have received a pledge for $35.00.
I am hoping that this letter will touch some hearts and
open some
purses/wallets. I am participating in this endeavor for the
good of
the mental health community and I know far too well from
personal
experience the deficiencies caused by lack of funding.
I have been fortunate enough to have medical coverage
through most
of my therapies and with the support of family and friends I
have
become what I think is a compassionate viable person,
sometimes still
willing to take on too much work load to try and save the
world from
itself. The government has made it nearly impossible for
others to
follow in the same light. With cuts in funding from local to
national
levels and the way that they aid the big insurance companies
to raise
premiums while reducing benefits. It is also just about
impossible for
those that need the assistance most to find affordable
doctors and
therapists.

This is a link to the NAMI donations page. Even if you
can only
spare a few dollars it would greatly help those that need it
most.
Remember, not everyone is as fortunate as us in their lives.
At times
we could all use a little assistance getting over some
hurdles and
this organization will give them the tools to carry on
healthy and
productive lives. Thank you for your time and the
consideration you
will give this matter.
Mr. Ben Z.
