            Daniel La Spata is one of the heroes in our community. Daniel is a nice person with many goals for our community. He is a nice man who likes to help people who don’t have that much stuff. He sure cares a lot about our community and the people in it. Daniel is a tall and with short blond hair. Daniel is one of the people that help our community problems. He is a community hero.

            Daniel works with the Logan Square Neighborhood Association. He started working in the community after he graduated college. He helps homeless people and tries to make it possible for people in

Logan Square

to afford houses. Also he works on economic issues to make sure people get jobs with living wages so people could stay in the neighborhood. Daniel also works with John Mc Dermott. John is a staff member from LSNA and he got him started it in the community and his work really helps people that cant afford places for their family.

            Even though Daniel helps people he is a also a normal person. He is caring and loving. Daniel is a really nice guy. He also did some volunteer work when he was in college. He helped homeless people and cared for them. Daniel also asks himself why there are homeless people and homeless children too. This question made him help homeless people. He cares for a person that isn’t even his family that speaks to what kind of person he is. He also had to overcome obstacles that stop him from doing his work. Not everything was easy. Daniel said the hardest part of his job is keeping people engaged in the work they do because it takes a lot of time out of their lives and takes so much to make a dream come true. Daniel is a person just like us and sometimes he struggles like us.

          Daniel also has a hero in his life and it is his parents. Daniel said his parents supported him over everything. Daniel would also be a hero because he is making people live easier and helping them afford a place for their family. Especially because of our economy right now, everything is expensive. Daniel has big ideas about our community. He tries to make it better and affordable for everyone that struggles with money. Daniel is a great man and a hero who I think cares more about the community and other people than himself that makes him a hero.
