>    Poor is an organization that is near and dear to my heart, and with which I

>    housing model in NYC 40 years ago, and are well known to be the
>    standard-bearers for the provision of housing and services to individuals
>    with chronic mental illness in New York. I consider my work with St.
>    Francis and other similar organizations to be my own personal way to honor
>    my mother, and I can’t think of a better way for her friends to honor her
