I write to you to request the fomgiveness of a debt held by the Carver Branch of the YMCA of
Greater Miami. 'lime YMCA serves children and famines in the Liberty City area from the branch
located at 401 N.W. 71st Street.
Three years ago, the City of Miami required the razing of a decrepit building on the grounds of the
Carver Branch. The City demolished the building for a foe of approximately $67,000. Since that
time, the YMCA has paid $33,000 toward that debt.
We had hoped to meet our remaining obligation without adversely affecting the programs we offer
to hundreds of Liberty City area children each day. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in a position
where to repay this debt would greatly reduce the services the YMCA offers at three sites in
Liberty City (Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Liberty Square and G.W. Carver).
We have no reserve or contingency funds. With the help of contributions of many who support the
YMCA's work in the commurity,we have just enough to support the subsidies required in the day
cares, after school programs, and youth sports for the children we now serve.
As a result, we ask for release from the remaining balance due for the demolition. Be assured of
the appreciation of the leadership and the children in the Liberty City area for the CWs willingness
to consider this important request.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
