Dear Source:
I am La Shawn Berg. I am writing this letter to support my company Springline Architects LLC that I work for. I am an office aide in charge of photocopying, plotting and filing. I want to tell you all that I am very, very blessed to be a part of this company. I have had many ups and downs in my life. Sometimes I was very hard up and had no money. When I found out I was going to work at Springline, I was happy because I knew that good things were coming to me. From the beginning everyone treated me well. It turned out that I had a medical condition and the company decided to pay for me to go to Puerto Rico with my supervisor and Grandmother. They paid for the doctor's visits. All these good things Springline did for me.
One time I also asked my supervisor if I could pursue developing my reading and writing skills. My supervisor found a tutor to come and work with me every day during my lunch hour so I could become better educated. I want to thank Springline for giving me the opportunity to work for them. I now know that just like Springline cares about me they also care about the community. That is why I feel very strong about the Port of Mandahl project. I want everyone to reconsider who this firm is and what they are all about. This is a very good project with many jobs for people including those that talked the project down. I am a person with disabilities who has had an opportunity to become a better person because of Springline.
Please give Springline a chance to show you how they care for our community.
La Shawn Berg
St. Thomas
