in the house of representatives
Friday, October 15, 2021
Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize the 20th Anniversary of the HOPE Animal Assisted Crisis Response. Through their dedicated service and steadfast devotion to their communities, HOPE AACR has become an indispensable part of Michigan's First District and the United States.
Since 2001, HOPE AACR has tirelessly worked to provide mental and emotional support to Americans during individual or national crises. Their organization has brought needed assistance to many local community groups including first responders, schools, hospitals, and churches. In addition, they often work directly with mental health professionals and counselors to bring the maximum level of care for those experiencing personal hardship.
HOPE AACR has also brought vital support to our nation during numerous tragic events such as 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the wildfires in California. Their help has improved the lives of countless Americans and their families and their dedication to the well-being of our communities cannot be overstated.
Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize HOPE Animal Assisted Crisis Response for decades of success and service to Michigan and the United States. Michiganders can take great pride in knowing the First District is home to such dedicated citizens. On behalf of my constituents, I wish them all the best in their future endeavors.
