Help Needed

I haven’t mentioned Living Hope’s need for additional funding in a while, but I hope anyone who reads this doesn’t take that as an indication that all the support has been raised. It has not.

But rather than move to discontinue the Life Skills education program in 2010, the Living Hope trustees have decided that everyone throughout the organization will take a pay cut so that the LSE staff can indeed continue with their vital work. The thinking is that Living Hope is a family, and when one part of the family suffers, everyone suffers and rallies to help those most affected.

Still, to keep Life Skills alive even with the across-the-board pay cut, more outside funding is needed. To learn the background behind this shortfall, please see my blog entitled “At a Crossroads,” located at http://ps121trekker.blogspot.com/2009/08/at-crossroads.html.
