Friends Fight Homelessness for Paris
Don protégé
We need your help.
I was scrolling through Facebook on July 5th, when I saw a concerning post from a longtime friend of mine, "i don’t feel like existing anymore"
Paris Melton-Coleman: HF Alum, creative, artist, and longtime friend is fighting for his life and against homelessness in the city of Calumet Park. He's been living in a car for some time now, and the current heatwave this Summer.
A common trend for 2020 has been a loss of wages, jobs, time for friends, and for Paris, a place to live, and the basic hierarchy of needs for survival.
My friend is in need of a reset: a place to live, food for his wellbeing, a job for continual income, and medical attention for his physical and mental state.
I am asking the HF community, Class of 2016, friends, associates, peers, and everyone to pass this fundraiser along and to donate to help him out of this situation so that he can live his life to his greatest potential.
As of today, many friends already have donated to Paris and have helped him to get hotels to stay in, food to eat, and rides to job interviews again and again.
My prayer is that this campaign lifts my friend out of his darkness and pain, to reach his greatest potential and to impact thousands of lives.
For a place, Paris will need around 5,000 for first and last month's rent, for rent assistance, as well as application fees and more.
We're asking for this by the end of the month of July.
Even small contributions help; and everything and anything is appreciated. Resources to help are also appreciated as well.
Help Paris get to a better place!
