Letter from Board Member of the Down Syndrome Association of Norther VA: David Egan
Dear Mona,
You and Lofty Salon are very special to me because you give me a “super” haircut, but more importantly, you are “super” because you care about me and the causes that I represent, namely the Down Syndrome Association of Northern Virginia. You care about people with intellectual disabilities and you have shown your support in meaningful ways by helping the DSANV raise funds to create awareness about our abilities.
In the past two years, you opened the doors of your elegant salon in the evenings to host the young adults Advocacy educational seminars. We had two successful seminars to discuss friendship and relationships, money issues, and a fun holiday party with delicious food, camaraderie, and dance. You also provided the setting for our wine tasting fundraiser, and meetings for parents of adults with Down Syndrome to share experiences and learn about financial issues for adults with disabilities. I also know that you gave my brother and sisters as well as other siblings the venue to share their personal experiences growing up with a sibling with Down Syndrome. All in all, you did not only support one or two events, but you made it clear to me that you are proud of me and you want others to have the opportunities to succeed. You are an ally for causes that improve our world, you believe that we all should be respected and given a chance to reach our potential and have a happy life.
I am writing to thank you but also to ask you to help me raise funds for my Buddy Walk in October. At the same time, I would like to meet members of the Chamber of Commerce to have them support our cause. I would like to share with them my success story and ask them to join me in the Buddy Walk. Could you please invite them to your Salon? My goal is to raise awareness about people with disabilities and let them know that I am committed to opening doors for people with disabilities to get jobs. I hope that they will help me make the dream of many a reality.
Sincerely,
David Egan
