On behalf of myself, and the National Coalition for the Homeless, we are so very sorry for your loss! Erica was with us as an intern for just a short time, but her cheerful presence and compassion shine over all these years. We are so grateful and honored for the donations given in Erica's honor. May her family and friends find peace and comfort in their cherished memories of beautiful Erica!
