Help Get Them Off The Streets

The Dirty Homeless Man or Woman

You see the dirty guy lying on the street or the tattered, lumpy dress covering the woman standing at the intersection pleading for help and you ask; why did they end up like this? If you should look closer, you would notice a common thing about both of them; their eyes. Those eyes are tipping you off about emotions of lost promises, with but a twinkle of hope. They are unforgettable! Either warm and gentle or harsh and nervous but unforgettable. Now you wonder, how is it possible for them to get back on their feet?

How can you help a highly educated person working yesterday; a dirty, homeless individual today? So, as she draws closer you look into her eyes, probing for an answer. You see the struggle, the pain of someone longing for a home, for food, for help. You look closer and you notice the soft gaze of a human being; a child -even.

Now it’s not so easy to pass them, to disregard their pain. So, you look deeper into her eyes, your hands slowly moving towards the purse or wallet, reaching for a dollar. You see the glimmer of hope and you know you must help -even further.

The Problem

The problem is, you could not dream that food was but one of his troubles. If he was lucky enough to eat for the night, his calloused feet, hidden by the tattered sneakers, hurt badly. He would do anything for a pair of socks that would relieve the pain after he took off the sneakers. He would feel better, much better, as he lay to rest on the cold concrete bed under the bridge where he camped.

Our homeless. Yes! Our! Our homeless men and women, living on the street, desperately need items such as socks, sleeping bags and clothes. Think about it, they have the same needs as you. So, if they cannot earn a living they need shelter; they need toothbrushes and toothpaste, shampoo, umbrellas and soap. This homeless man lives on the street, not in a shelter. He is just one of over 850 individuals who live on the streets, not in shelters.

We believe we can impact those on the streets. Today we humbly ask you to join us in remembering Vincent Van Gogh’s words;

To save a life is a real and beautiful thing. To make a home for the homeless, yes, it is a thing that must be good; whatever the world may say, it cannot be wrong.

Our people need care, support, and assistance: medical care, recreation, food, money, clothes and hope.

How You Can Help

Remember, a full basket of items is achieved by adding one item at a time. Therefore, you can help even by contributing a little at a time. Indeed, if each of us contribute whatever we can, we will be able to achieve large goals and our largest goal is not just to help individuals now and then but to prevent each generation from becoming as helpless and needy as our elders are today.
