Dear John,

The holidays are a time of reflection and, with respect to the state of
reproductive health in Texas (and beyond), it is tempting to feel
disheartened. However, we have a lot to celebrate. We have made substantial
progress toward our mission - _and it is even more critical than ever
before._ At HEALTHY FUTURES OF TEXAS [3], we aim to provide the resources
and information that teens need to make healthy and empowered decisions for
themselves and their futures. 

There were some standout highlights this year, such as the YOUTH ADVISORY
BOARD TOWN HALL FOR TEENS IN DALLAS. Hosted by the Youth Advisory Board in
partnership with the Youth Commission of Dallas, the event gave over 100
teens and parents the opportunity to speak openly with community leaders
about the importance of sex education.

After it became safer to host in person events, WE WERE DELIGHTED TO COME
TOGETHER TO LEARN, CONNECT, AND INSPIRE ONE ANOTHER. One of the key
strategies we employ at Healthy Futures is collaboration and we drew energy
from the excitement and emotion of the powerful work we share with our
partners.

Lastly, merging three organizations into one was an enormous
accomplishment. Leadership championed an expanded benefits package for all
employees, ENSURING THAT HEALTHY FUTURES SUPPORTS AND UPLIFTS ITS STAFF IN
A CHALLENGING WORKING ENVIRONMENT. People are at the heart of this work,
and we value their contributions.

_We are proud of our achievements and are excited for what the future
holds._

Healthy Futures has nothing but GRATITUDE FOR OUR COMMUNITY OF SUPPORTERS,
PARTNERS, SPONSORS, AND FELLOW ADVOCATES FOR CHANGE. We could not have
achieved our goals this year without you. Our team has plans to expand and
strengthen our mission within Texas for 2023. Please consider supporting
our efforts with an END-OF-YEAR FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION [5] to help ensure
that the youth of Texas can seize every opportunity that lays ahead.
