[MARHMIS] FW: Thank You!!!

Greetings!

A colleague and I were contacted by an amazing and driven high school student who is working on a project called "The Last Generation Project." To boil down the conversations she and I have had: the point of this project is to encourage the next generation of minds to embrace and continue the work of ending homelessness that we have all been doing. It's called "The Last Generation project" because of the desire for her generation to be the last generation to ever have to address homelessness in this country. She has asked for feedback so that they can put together information that helps steer her generation toward this goal and even toward pursuing this as a career.

Naturally, I wanted to encourage her; however, I did present the caveat that if I pass this out to all of you, the response could be a bit more than she bargained for. As you can see in her response below, that knowledge didn't faze her a bit. So… I'm hoping that all of you can take a few minutes out of your crazy schedules to show her that, while we may be a bit of an unseen network at times, we're nonetheless a closely knit network of people who really care about the work that we are all doing, and that we think that her passion and initiative are inspirational.

I apologize if any of you receive this twice. Please feel free to forward along to your networks as well.

Warm Regards,

Subject: Thank You!!!

Hi Mr. Fox,

When I received the emails from you and Dr. Perlman I was blown away! I am deeply moved by your willingness to support my project. This has been a very exciting day for me!

I have been contacting people around the country in the hopes of gaining a national perspective, and would jump at the opportunity to get as much feedback as possible. I would appreciate it so much if you would share The Last Generation Project nationally!

If you are ever in the Philadelphia area I would love to meet with you in person. 

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the project. Once again, thank you so much!

Best,
Marley Duchovnay
