    November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month

    To Chris, Every single homeless person has a story. You don't know what it is. If you did know....if you lived the same life, with the same experiences, you don't know whether you would be in the same situation. If you get sick, you can't choose to be well. If you are in a car accident and become disabled, you can't choose to keep your job. If you have mental illness, you can't choose to healthy. And if you've experienced unimaginable abuse you can't walk away, forget your experiences and hold down a job.

    However, I'm working with an organization called homelesspartners.com -- it will be in 9 cities this year -- Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, Miami, Portland and 4 cities in Canada.

    We post the Christmas Wish List and a little about their "story" on the website homelesspartners.com so that people can read the story, buy them the gift that they asked for, and deliver it to a shelter along with a personal card. It's a way for people to help in a safe way and communicate that they care.
    And David, I'd be interested in seeing your website - housingdiversion.com but it didn't work when I put it in my browser -- I encourage you to keep trying.
    If anyone reads this who can do publicity for homelesspartners.com, --put it on facebook or anywhere else --please do.......it needs all the publicity it can get.

    Peace and Grace,
    jennie
    ps Chris, I hope that nothing catastrophic ever happens to you that would put you in the "homeless" position.
