DEAR PRESIDENT ELECT BIDEN AND VICE PRESIDENT ELECT HARRIS, 11-8-2020

          

Dear President elect Biden and Vice President elect Harris,

First, I would like to congratulate you both for winning this long and wearisome election.

Thank you both for working diligently, with the people of your campaign, to win and become our next president and vice president!

I live in an assisted living in Mass. I am 65 years young.

My hopes are that you can unify our divisive and crying country.

I have wept when black men have been killed by the police.

I know the police wear many hats. Perhaps more training as well as mental health professionals accompanying them on calls, that involve people in emotional distress, may be one answer.

I have mourned when my friends have died, many from this Coronavirus.

My heart has torn when families don’t have the needed finances to pay their rent, buy food and pay other necessary bills.

I have cried hearing of children going hungry.

I, myself get seriously ill and require the acute setting of the hospital frequently.

I definitely know the necessity of affordable and accessible healthcare.

My friends, if I may call you both friends, my hopes are that you both unify our hurting country.

We would all be grateful if the Coronavirus was under control, so I, and all of us, can go back to a world that reflects normal.

My dream is that you both, and our elected officials, can fix some of the issues that have brought so much pain to many of us.

Thank you! With sincerity, love, hope and prayers,

Evelyn Pinto
