Dear Friends:

I spent most of this year building Holistic Homes--a supportive housing nonprofit that is on a mission to bring innovative holistic housing to adults recovery from mental health conditions. In the course of that work, I discovered an organization and annual meeting that would put our organization in touch with like-minded mental health advocates at this year's Behavioral Health Tech Conference.

At a cost of nearly $3,500 for conference fees, travel, and accommodations, I bemoaned my inability to afford it. But as I kept seeing email and social media promotions about the meeting, the more I saw the value in networking with like-minded entrepreneurs and change agents in mental health recovery. I decided to apply for a scholarship.

Weeks later, I actually won!

Now, I seek your help to bridge the gap for a full registration payment and help with transportation and lodging. The experience will not only help my work, but also the vision of our organization to help bring digital tech assistance to adults living with mental health conditions. The innovations will help them live happier and more productive lives.

Thank you in advance for your consideration of this request. I wish you peace and blessings.

Lisa Bass Cooper
