The Honorable Xavier Suarez
Mayor City of Miami

Miami. Florida 33133
Dear Mayor Suarez:
Aspira of Florida. which has served over 2.000 Hispanic and
disadvantaged minority youth in the City of Miami during its
six (6) years, is currently facing an emergency financial
crisis. This critical situation has been precipitated by the
loss of $75,000 in funding from State for the 1987-1988
fiscal year.
This setback seriously threatens the continuance of Aspire's
School Drop Out Prevention/Leadership Development Program at
seven (7) of the City's junior and senior high schools (i.e.
Booker T. Washington, Citrus Grove Middle, Shenandoah, Robert
E. Lee, Edison Middle, Edison Senior, Miami Jackson).
Because of your past support and leadership in serving the
needs of the Wynwood community. Aspira's neighborhood
Iocation. as well as representing the interest of all of
Miami's residents, we would appreciate the opportunity
to come before you and the City Commissioners for an
emergency $25,000 grant request.
We understand that the process for this request would
normally take place in September during the butget hearings.
However, due to our ominous situation, we ask that you please
place us on the calendar agenda for the Jul-y 23rd, 1987 City
Commission meeting.
Your commitment to the future of our City's youth is an
invaluable example to all. We trust in your support of our
"Aspirantes".
Sincerely,
i o is Hernatiez
Executive Director
