BILL NO. 05-18 <br /> Dear South Bend Common Council Members, <br /> I strongly urge your support for the Women's Care Center's rezoning request. My late wife <br /> Mary was a founding board member of Women's Care Center, along with her sister,Ann Manion, who <br /> oversees the center today. In addition, my wife Lori has been touched personally by the center. Her <br /> daughter was a client; and Lori is passionate about the important work that they do. Lori believes her <br /> precious grandbabies might not be here today but for the love and support of Women's Care Center. <br /> This center was founded on the belief that no one should have to face an unplanned pregnancy <br /> alone. The strength of this organization is that they are not political or divisive. They simply offer <br /> unconditionally loving support to women who are pregnant. Lori and I know first-hand the quality of <br /> their services. Care that goes way beyond a decision for life. Hundreds of women and men a week <br /> attend strong fathers and first-time moms educational groups, parenting classes, as well as prenatal and <br /> life skills education. Along the way, parents earn much needed necessities like cribs, car seats, diapers, <br /> and new baby clothing. The addition of this important work in the Bendix Node will have great impact. <br /> Please know that for me this ask is personal. Women's Care Center getting their zoning means <br /> more to me than many of the other issues with which I am confronted on a daily basis. Please lend your <br /> support to this much-needed expansion on the west side. <br /> Mike Hamann <br /> 2658 Tomahawk Trail <br /> South Bend, IN 46628 <br /> Filed in Clerk's Office <br /> APR U 9 2018 <br /> KAREEMAH FOWLER <br /> CITY CLERK,SOUTH BEND,IN <br />
