CARING IS SHARING...

You may have noticed in my sidebar, a site called The Hunger Site . This site is one of greatness, as it merely takes a click to donate 1.1 cups of food to the world's hungry, plus, the site is packed with other ways to help, resources of all kinds, and some great products which are very reasonably priced, of which part of the cost goes to more help towards the hungry. It is really a blessing for the world to have such a wisely designed site for all of the world to easily do their part in assisting...

For the U. S., I have been donating to Feed The Children for many years. I like this organization, as it truly cares about the hungry, primarily the children, but, also strives to assist parents who work hard, but, cannot quite provide for their families. They do so much for the people of this country, and, any time there is a National disaster, you will find their trucks on site providing immediate relief...

Helping out is the most fundamental part of belonging to the human race, although, it seems at times that it is the farthest thing from most minds. We have to help each other, there is no other way for the senselessness to end...

Again, I will say, homelessness, and poverty are a whole new issue these days, and will probably worsen over the next decade. We cannot rely on Govt. to eradicate this fact, and so, together, we must join to eliminate some of the conditions these people exist in, plus, we can provide HoPe, which is often the only thing which might keep them from sinking into debilitating despair. It doesn't take much to help out, and, it would make a great difference to many if we all did our part...

HOMELESSNESS/IMPOVERISHMENT AFFECTS EVERYONE...

The worst thing people can do in life, is to remain complacent, as in doing so, many, many areas of life are affected, some of which, with only one person doing something to rectify it, might make a world of difference, in that in effort comes results...

People act as if homelessness, hunger, poverty, and other related issues are not important to Them! They are way more important to each of us than you might imagine...

If the streets become more filled with homeless, hungry people, there are many issues which will affect each person of the neighborhoods in which these are existing. There will arise health problems as they become less clean, there will be security problems as they scurry to find ways to feed themselves, there will be all sorts of community related issues, which Do affect each of us, somewhere down the line, no doubt about it. Not only that, but, it just isn't right that people should have to wind up in such conditions...

I will go to my grave saying this one thing: There ARE resolutions to ending homelessness, but, it takes active awareness, and participation from all...

Consider it this way; what if it were your Mother/Father, Brother/Sister, friend, child, or self? Would it make a difference then? Realize this, in these uncertain economical times, it Could happen to just about anyone. I know millionaires who are losing their net worth, and are struggling to stay afloat, so, if it can happen to them, imagine what will become of many of us. See what I mean???

Quite honestly, to state it blatantly, most of the world problems can be traced back to lack of involvement, or complacency, it is just that simple, and the repercussions of that complacency is extremely far-reaching, with the effects of it lasting sometimes, for centuries, and, can destroy entire communities/villages to the point of never being quite able to arise above the conditions into which they live, or are born into. Just some things to think about...

ACTIVELY SEEKING CONTRIBUTORS & SPONSORS...

I am actively seeking knitters, crocheters, handcrafters of all sorts, to make items for donating!!!

I am actively seeking sponsors to donate items, such as yarns, needles, hooks, and other such, that creative contributors need to make items for donations!!!

Records will be kept of all actions, proper credits will be given to all contributors/sponsors, both privately, and publicly, plus, there will come media attention in the future...

As I have said, NO CASH DONATIONS will be accepted, just supplies for contributors, that they need not spend money to help!!!

This is a very important program, and I would love to see it grow sooner, than later. I have no doubts that it will grow, but, would very much like to see a substantial amount of donations for the Winter of 2009! Won't you PLEASE, join me in this quest???
