LACK OF KNOWLEDGE IS CRIPPLING OUR NATION
Are you moved with compassion when you see someone who is
obviously homeless walking down
the streets of your city?
Do you wonder about the circumstances
that led them to their
present condition?
Do you ever think about what you could
do to help, but shy away from doing
more than sharing a bag of hot food or
offering the spare change you are
carrying at the moment?
Most people are intimidated by the thought of committing to more than
these types of brief encounters with people who are enduring homelessness.
It is a tough issue, but it’s an even tougher reality for the person who has no
place to call home.
Have you even noticed that there are homeless people walking down
the streets of your city?
The fact is, the plight of those who are homeless in America is having great
financial impact on the lives of those of you who work hard, pay your taxes, and
go about the business of living your life.
Wouldn’t you like to know more about how you can help change that frustrating
reality?
Recent debates about drug testing for welfare recipients assures me that the
issue is at the forefront of our collective thoughts, and that people are
more than concerned about accountability for the use of disability benefits.
