    Sleep Out for the Homeless: Worst Fundraiser Ever

    AMEN Dominic ... AMEN - preaching to the homeless on their assumed lost spirituality due to their unfortunate  circumstances is an insult.


    A Buddhist quote comes to mind:


    " ... be near when help is needed, but far when praise and thanks are being offered."


    When people describe 'all the good they've done and the charity they have bestowed upon others' - I usually run like mad to get away from them.

    Sleep Out for the Homeless: Worst Fundraiser Ever

    It is utterly RIDICULOUS! The marketing person was worried about there not being enough PIZZAs to go around? Egads!


    I admire the 'true' organizations whose only purpose is to educate the masses and help our homeless society get shelter, food and health care, but I despise these false little 'acts of altruism' when in fact they are actually contributing to the problem, by thinking '1 evening of camping out' is comparable to people suffering YEARS of fear, hunger, cold, sickness and hopelessness.


    Also, if a person cannot give money, why not donate time in a shelter (and not just on the holidays - that too annoys me - 'Collecting for Thanksgiving, Christmas' while the rest of the year, these unfortunate souls do without); write your local legislators, congressmen, senators to do something for these people?  Get petitions and write to 'big-business' corporations like Home Depot, Lowes, Walmart, etc. to donate materials and help these people build a home (similar to what Brad Pitt did with design students fashioning small homes for the homeless after Katrina). Architects, Plumbers, Electricians donate your time to teaching these people to build these homes (and bring your children to help you while you donate your time).  This would be a much better way of 'giving to charity' than just writing a check or camping out!


    There are so many wonderful things we can do if we all join together and actually DO IT!

    Target Takes Food Stamps

    I never thought it would happen to me, but it did.  Lots of things happened.  I can only be grateful that the actual 'Food Stamps' are not stamps anymore, but are disbursed as a debit card.  For more info on my story & opinions, please feel free visit my blog: http://satansez.wordpress.com


    Thanks for writing this article and informing the public!
