Compassion needed

To the editor:

As a member of one of the churches participating in the Family Promise program, I deplore the attitude of the neighbors of the proposed day center for homeless families. It’s the typical “not in my backyard” response which is unfortunately so familiar. Please, folks, show some compassion for the less fortunate, inform yourselves to alleviate your fears and, above all, be grateful that you, at least, have a place you can call home.
