Here is a letter I wrote to some I know about this issue.
Hello Everyone, 
Thank you for working diligently on this important issue for the co-op community and the issues at large. I have been following the e-mails, video, NY Times article-- "A Handyman, A Sudden Eviction and A Gentrification Battle Royale" by John Leland. I had to subscribe but likely that's a good thing overall.
 
 I have met John Leland before since he wrote a book  called Happiness Is a Choice You Make about what it's like to age. He had interviewed people for a year, and far more than those who were in his book.

I had the pleasure of hearing Wafaa Saed, the leader of the WAFAA organization, at an important conference for advocates and protective mothers. Thankfully I jotted her number down and thought to be in touch with her a few years later. She invited me to the annual dinner which will be held Saturday, March 30th, 2019 at 4pm in Bergen County NJ. Unfortunately I am not able to attend as planned and let them know.

Very cool to learn of the senior class at Housatonic Valley Regional High School of Falls Village CT was spending time cleaning up rural roads in the northwest corner of CT. I know other schools and groups do this as well, public and private. That is the school I attended locally as did my former husband and our four children (at least a year each.) Many other relatives and friends also happily found friends and good schooling and experiences at the high school.

 To the Editor (and all leaders in our country, states and communities): 
 
On the heels of a tragic loss of a family of five to apparent murder-suicide in MA,  the need to know more about mental health and safety in relationships of all kinds is clear if not dire. Unfortunately not all forms of abuse are obvious to outsiders and maybe not even to the adult or child victims themselves.
 
We need to try to consider what we may be missing and ways to advocate for more screenings and gentle or direct interventions for victims of any kind of abuse whatever their age or ability to self-advocate.

Difficult news in CT and FL, apparent suicides of people who had lost friends or family in shooting event in the past. Sincere condolences to the families, friends and the spirits of those who have crossed over in a difficult manner. This response is offered to reflect on this kind of situation in general and is not in any way trying to minimize the heartache and difficulty the families, friends and even fellow national and worldwide citizens feel when learning of such tragedies.

 Maybe reasons such as 'survivor guilt' or missing a loved one (in the case of a father for instance losing a
