As we go into the second year of a virtual COTS walk, I’m again choosing to be a Challenge Walker, so I’m writing to ask for your support during these very complicated times. Covid has exposed some fundamental inequities and injustices, and the challenges and burdens of being homeless under Covid are inconceivable to me, as it must be for all of us who are secure in our own homes. I’ve been a COTS Challenge Walker for many years, and it’s the support of my friends, co-workers and clients that has driven my success all these years. There are two ways to give: by regular old check, or online by using this link:

The online process is fast, easy and secure. If you choose to support via a check, please mail it to my home address: 105 Oakcrest Drive, Burlington, VT 05408.

Please help me support COTS' mission to end homelessness by making a donation to my 2021 Virtual COTS Walk, which is being held next Sunday, May 2, 2021 - sorry for being so late in making my request this year. Thanks in advance for your support and feel free to share this my request with any friends, co-workers or business associates you think might be interested in donating.

My acceptance of the Challenge Walker means I'm committed to raising at least $1000, and I’m hoping to double that. Thanks to the Walk sponsors, every dollar raised through the COTS Walk supports shelter and services for families and individuals in crisis. More information about COTS and the COTS Walk is available at cotsonline.org.

Whatever you can give will help - it all adds up! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress. And please let me know if you have any difficulty with the online method - this is new to me as well!

Thanks so much considering a gift of support, it means a lot to me and even more to COTS. Once again, my apologies for being so last minute about this.

Bob
