We have a chance to make a difference in the lives of children this November by voting yes for Proposition 1, the Bellingham Home Fund. As someone who has volunteered in local schools and on Bellingham's school board, I have seen first-hand the devastating and preventable effects of homelessness on children. A safe, stable and affordable home for families is critical for children to succeed in school. Join me in voting yes for Proposition 1 this fall.
