1. Letter from Shawn Costello
Hello David;
This is Shawn Costello;
It is very important to me and every other disabled person
in this city to have a committee looking over the hospitals
in Dublin. We also need to add another person on the
committee that must have a disability of some sort. They
could be blind, or deaf, or even in a wheelchair like me.
Mr. Mayor; I am emailing you to please think about and
consider opening up another seat on this hospital
committee, I would be a great choice for the new seat.
Sir, you never know who the next person to walk in to the
hospital and ask for help and they just might have special
needs like me in a wheelchair or even you David. Things
happen to people every minute of the day.
Mr. Mayor; I already know what it is like to need help and
no one will help or even listen to your needs. If I could be
on this committee I will listen to everyone's needs just I
have the last 25 years and 3 committees.
Thank you for your time and friendship.
Shawn Costello
