What a wonderful thing you and your friends are doing! Thanks for the good news and can you say more about the work you are doing and the people you are working with as co workers and the people you are helping (homeless and mentally ill?)

This is such a huge problem in the area where I live and to top it off my city has a huge and sudden increase after the Katrina disaster. About a quarter of a million people are living here after being suddenly and permanently displaced. Needless to say many of them lost everything and are severely traumatized. Add to that the homeless and mentally ill already existing here. Mental health care in Texas ranks about 48th of 50 states in quality and care. That is sad.
Thanks for what you are doing.
Also, what was prop. 63?
