*By Regina Canetty*

I am a family member of Daniel’s Place. The support I have received from this organization has been tremendous. I am writing this letter in regard to (the Daily Press’) Oct. 18 article “Residents wary of Daniel’s Village” in the Santa Monica Daily Press.

As a mother of a mentally ill young adult who would benefit greatly from this type of housing, I wanted you to know that I am in total agreement with this project becoming a reality. By the community supporting — by uniting — to be a part of this project, rather than opposing it, would show the compassion that these mentally ill individuals so desperately need.
