Please leave your comments below and feel free to share this with others . . . we have to put an end to myths as they prevent real people just like you and me from getting the help they desperately need.

Hi Poverty Guy, Cyndy again. This story moved me to action in 2008:
ReplyDeleteBrendan Foster's Dying Wish:
http://thatpovertyproject.blogspot.com/2011/09/taking-action.html
His dying wish was for folks to feed the homeless.
I made about 50 sandwiches paired with fruit and took them to the local "Tent City" called Nickelsville. Since then I have made several trips there with things I could have given to charity (coats, blankets, pillows) but decide to give to Nickelsville instead.
What would really help the homeless (besides food and money) is a kind word and a smile.
You're so right!
ReplyDeleteRe Brendan Foster . . . what an amazing young man who helped more people in his short life than most of us do in 80 yrs. We can all be inspired, and I am going to post a video about him on this blog. Thanks for reminding me of him!
