Subject:Support for Covenant House at 632 N. East St.
Attachments:CH Council.jpg
To the distinguished and esteemed members of the Council
I would like to offer my humble words of admiration for the Covenant House and the work they do. I have been
privileged and blessed to work with the organization for a few years now. In helping them brighten the lives of
so many my life was enlightened in ways I never thought
possible. The youth they serve and care for so selflessly, are our kids, our sons, our daughters, our future. The
dignity, love and care they provide is essential, now more than ever in bringing them all back into our embrace.
I urge you all to visit and meet some of them. You will find as I have, a longing for love, for acceptance and for
relevance.
I hope that you will allow Covenant House to bring pride to the county. Pride in helping these youths, in making
a
difference in their lives, theirs and our future and pride in knowing that we can all leave our apprehensions
behind and embrace the precious humanity that binds us all.
Thank you Bill, Steve and the entire Covenant House family for allowing me to be a humble part of it.
Thank you
Charles Debbas
Architect
