It occurs to me, we as a society need to make an investment in our Homeless Population. I feel like that's what we do here on Bridge and Beyond. We knit, we crochet, we loom and we donate hand made items of warmth...but isn't that us, making an investment in these people who are less fortunate than we are? We're investing in their future.
I wish, we as a society were making more of an investment in getting people off the streets. In providing them with a warm roof over their heads. Investing in their future by helping with jobs, and providing mental health services which are so often needed with homeless populations. I know homeless people have been around for ages and at times in our history the population has grown and at other times it has become less, which is awesome; but I believe we need a permanent fix...a permanent investment in the future for people in need.
**The counts on our progress bars are current, the percentages not quite. I'll not be figure the percentages with each update of numbers, but will be updating again next at least by the 20th. I have in fact made a reminder not on my cell phone for the 20th of each month to do percentages. If we're at a milestone, or I just have extra time I may do it more often...but certainly at that scheduled time.
** All donations regardless of size and number are valued. All donations are appreciated. The Power of One is awesome, and when we work together The Power of One becomes The Power of Many.
