  Almost Homeless

  So many of us may face the same thing, as jobs go and people
    exhausted their employment benefits lack of jobs to go to more and more families with children will find themselves living on the streets, My family is facing the very same things like others that have lose jobs homes apartments from lack of funds to be self supportive, Their are many programs in each state but these programs are no longer able to help everyone in need with the new hard economy down falls, unemployment benefits are not enough to pay the bare basic living needs, Presdent elect Obama needs to address these issues to prevent this from growing beyond what is already out there we must all try to help and do our share to help those in need.

  National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week: A Rant and A Revelation

    Here are my views.  Change is coming to American let us not forget Written by Deborah Hobson-- Bradenton FL Before the election was near end millions of Americans was inspired by Senator Obama.   By his strong message of hope and bringing this country back to what America stands for, There was large crowds cheering on embracing the idea that we the people are one people we are the united states,  This message rang in our ears from state to state across the world,    Now that the election is over, The excitement of new found hope as arrive the signs come down the rally’s are over the dust as settle and President Obama is rolling up his sleeves to face the worst mess this country as ever seen in many years, Lets not forget those messages we all heard and accepted from the bottom of our hearts,  Lets not forget the homeless, The jobless, The families that have been cripple by this dark hole, May we all dig deep in our hearts and carry out the message the chance of a life time to fix the broken homes, Hearts of those most affected by this horror.  Leave the bitter feelings of hate towards all walks of life in the past, embrace those that come to this country to escape the horrors of their own land because of fail leaders. Freedom rings for all, No one is looking for a hand out but a chance to be part of what a great nation as to offer. Just place yourself in those with less. walk in their  shoes those with children wouldn’t you want a better future for your children a chance of happiness full of hope and dreams, So does those that brave the great danger to bring their families to better lands, Let us never forget the men and women that die for us and fought for us. President Obama can not do this alone we must all join helping hands and do all that we can to keep this hope and dream alive every single day, If you have been blessed with the opportunity to a good education and Job Just remember it is not socialist to share those same opportunities to others, Just remember if you have two loafs of bread and only need one why not share that with your neighbor that as none.         This is not consider socialist This is lending a helping hand in time of great need, people assume that a homeless person made their own bed and now must lay in, Have you ever stop and ask that person how they become homeless? You may be shocked. Women on the streets are women that was unable to get a good education lost there spouse not enough income to pay rent and the basic needs to have shelter. People with no families to lend a helping hand.   We as Americans do not leave a stray dog on the side of the road but yet we find it so easy to walk over a man or women, As we walk by to our home with all the comfort of a warm bed a good book snacks to eat.. We don’t consider how this happen to those people until we ourselves are all most faced with the same, You see I know this because I too our one of those people,  How could this have happen I ask myself how could people be so blinded by what was taking place, How did this country get like this?. Was we so busy or wrap up in our own success we fail to see not everyone was so blessed, Did we really believe we work harder then those with less, Were we smarter then those with less education?          Did we ever once stop and think about how and why we have been blessed. Maybe our parents or grandparents worked really hard and left it all to us, Gave us a chance they never had. Did we take that for granted?  What is Rich and well off anyway? Does rich mean my heart beats different then yours, Is my skin a different color,  My looks different then yours? Maybe true but went you need blood to save your life do you ask did this come from someone rich? If not why? Because you needed it to save your life or your Childs life?     Of course you didn’t ask because you didn’t care if that blood come from someone homeless, or someone without education or someone without food, None of that matter because you needed it, You took it without even thinking or caring, But you was blessed because someone cared and gave maybe  That was all they had to give at the time, So this year during the holidays and all year, each  and every year after that just remember we are all Americans that care. Want all the hopes and  dreams and needs just like you.  So if you can change just one person’s life.  Just give that one person just one small gift, Maybe a hug maybe a kind word, maybe some spare change, maybe just a little hope then you my friend have lived the American dream. End
