“Without a moment’s hesitation, I would endorse that million dollar check to Mental Health America of Greater Dallas. Over the past decades, public funding for the mentally ill has steadily decreased and has contributed to the rise in homelessness and the indigent. Organizations such as this provide much needed services to those who suffer and offer programs for prevention and support in Dallas County. I would ask that the donation honor the memory of my father, Hayden Donahue, M. D., a pioneer in the care and treatment of the mentally ill and a tireless advocate.”
