A personal message from Joyce Hothan

Dear Friends and Family,

It is getting cold outside here in Illinois. Unfortunately, more families than ever are becoming homeless due to our economic crisis. Bridge Communities continues to provide housing and hope to record numbers of families every year.

I will again be sleeping outside on November 5th for our "Sleepout Saturday Event", which is our largest fundraiser. I am appealing to you to sponsor me in my fundraising effort so we indeed can serve more families. Amy amount will be most appreciated. Warm regards, Joyce

Sincerely,
Joyce Hothan
