Mercy Home Persuasive Speech

Decent Essays
As some of you already know on Sunday, October 8, 2017, I will be taking on a monumental task - running the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Why will I be running 26.2 miles, you ask? Because I am a little bit crazy but also passionate about providing a safe and loving home for the children of Mercy Home for Boys & Girls.

Your generous gift, and my 29-neighborhood journey of Chicago, will change the lives of children in need. Thank you for helping me cross the finish line in fundraising, and on race day, with your support of this effort.

    Hello Victoria, thank you for a very interesting fact you shared in our discussion. I just want to add that while I’m reading about the U.S. subsidized health care programs, I encountered an article about the future funding of the children’s health insurance program (CHIP).

Furthermore, the current president’s FY2018 suggested financial plan consist of significant Medicaid…
