I wish you and your loved ones a holiday season filled with good health, peace, happiness, and prosperity.
My team and I have been dedicated this holiday season to bringing people together and helping to brighten up the lives of families who need some extra cheer. My office has organized multiple events including food and toy drives, health fairs and holiday celebrations.

During the past month, our community has taken great strides in ensuring that no one is alone during this season. We know that the holidays can be a time of crisis for some, please know that FREE help is available! If you or anyone you know is struggling with suicidal thoughts, please dial 988.
From our team to yours, we wish you a wonderful holiday season.
Sincerely,
