我叫马丁·奥尔金,在圣盖博谷出生长大. Living here all my life has given me a unique opportunity, to experience the changes that Los Angeles has gone through over the years. It saddens me to see what we have let our city become. 我们忽视了不该忽视的东西. 我觉得我们都有责任确保那些不像我们这么幸运的人能够不挨饿, somewhere to call home and medical assistants when needed. Therefore I have asked to be part of "LIVE EXPERIENCE ADVISORY BOARD" (LEAB).
According to my geographical location I represent SPA 3. SPA 3 covers from Diamond Bar to Pasadena and everything in between. 根据2020年的统计,有4555人无家可归. With 3027 unsheltered, 3615 individuals, 940 family members, 283 families. I do not know what the 2022 count will be yet. My goal while in this position is to help these numbers reduce considerably.
我打算如何实现这个目标, 通过走访街道,听取那些最了解什么是有效的,什么是无效的人的意见? 找出帮助他们回归社会、成为一个有生产力的人所需要的东西. Not giving excuses on why people have not received help, 就像我经常看到的那样, “他们不需要帮助.“我发现那些不需要帮助的人是因为本应帮助他们的制度辜负了他们. For those who are suffering from mental problems, find them help and not make them wait three to four months. Most of all, take the responsibility of my actions.
我有幸拥有一位美丽而体贴的妻子,三个出色而成功的孩子. Spending time with my wife is all the pleasure I need in life. 看着我的孩子们成长为优秀的淑女和绅士是父母所希望的
In clo唱, I would like to thank LASHA for this opportunity. I know that a great responsibility comes with accepting this position. 我期待着与其他新成员一起在未来的两年里取得更大的成就. If you would like to know if you are in my spa just look on the LASHA website. Remember, it takes all of us to make a difference even in the smallest way.
