I'm a Person, I'm No Bum!

Food for thought

Folks I spotted this a while back on the net and wanted to share with you all who help through Bridge and Beyond.  Homeless people do have feelings, they have a face, they have a name and deserve to be treated with kindness and dignity.  I know you all who aid the cause here at Bridge and Beyond feel the same way.

Keep your yarn, hands, hooks, and needles busy folks.  We're still experiences nights in the low 40's here.  We will continue to supply Rae who cares for folks under the Bridges as well as the various shelters.  Our work is always needed, and appreciated.

On this Memorial Day, know that some of the items you knit or crochet are donated to a Veteran.  Sadly, many Veterans, to whom we owe so much end up homeless.  And like this man says, they are not Bums.
