    This man is raising some wonderful children! Ginger is literally living in what Jesus wants for society!
  • People need support: social services, physical and mental health services - not just food and shelter - to make a life!
  • I love sharing these stories on my daily science bell ringers! The kids love them! Thank you!

    My cry for the day... I often wish I could help others. I always say "if I ever hit the lottery I'll really help some homeless". More and more I realize I don't have to hit the lottery. So many ways to help out. I often give food/handouts, but I'm gonna start lookin for ways ti really help get em on their feet. May we all try to make the world a better place. Aloha!

    I think the important lesson here is not just about with people without homes need. It’s a story about what people who have plenty need. This is a story about ginger. We know that with the right human connection, shelter, and a little supports that people can transform their lives. This is a story about the transformation that comes from helping others, the transformation that comes with in a person helps others. That’s the lesson we need more often.

    Steve . Omg it’s was a very cold November night I was at Walmart to buy food shop few thing. I stay and walk around at Walmart. Then like 10:30 I leave Walmart coming to my car. And I saw and older black lady sitting on a wheelchair by herself. So I feel sorry for her and I went and I asked her what she’s doing outside in the cold is freezing. She told me she has no way to go. And no food she is so hungry. I talk that I’m going home I’ll be back. I make her sandwich and bring her a little basket with food. Then I gave her shoe of my own like two pairs size 8 1/2 . big blanket to cover her because she says she’s sleeping there. So I stay with her until midnight stand up talking. When I was leaving she told me she like my ring. it was a goal with diamond I took it out and give it to her because I feel very sorry for her. But it was my husband. He bought that ring for me 27 years ago. And I divorced like 10 years. Because he disrespect my marriage. She told me thank you thank you I told her thank God. When I was coming home, I was speaking to God in my car and told God please help this woman.. I came home and I called the first Baptist Church that I used to go to five minutes away from where I live in Orlando. I spoke to Rena Jones and Director and tell her about the situation and she says right now we have nobody to go to help her in the church. So I went back at 1:30 in the morning and she was still there.. I asked her what she’s going to do I don’t have a place I stay in a one room I wish I had my own home I would take you with me. She told me how she end up on the street as a homeless. And I told her it could happen to anyone if myself because 10 years since I divorce I’m still struggling on the low income. I can pay my rent I get Medicaid and Medicaid. . I’m very greatfull that I’m so in pity I could have someone in someway God knows my heart he knows my personality and one day some window would open for me. I trust in God and I believe in God I figure it’s taken long since I divorce but I hang on with my faith . Steve Hartman what you are doing is the greatest in the world and thank you for doing this. God would open many doors to you. Maybe he worn for me sooner or later because I’m in poverty right now by blessings to you and your family always fazie

    We are all human if you try to think 🤔 this better than that which wars have been waged over it makes people hate each other! Hate is a bad word
