Help me help others in need

New Year new beginnings!!! 2017 Needs to start right!

"Help me help others!"

I have decided to continue on this journey raising money for the homeless. Please checkout our updates. Thank you in advance for your heart of Gold, in wanting to give and wanting to help the least of these. The bible says, "Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.' Matt. 25:40

When I was a child I remember my mother feeding, clothing, and even supplying this homeless man, named Adam, with soap to bathe himself on hot days behind our home. I never understood this. I always asked her why are you doing this? As an adult I clearly understand what she was doing. She was caring and loving towards this man that had no one. His family lived in Poland. She was compassionate to him.

The last three years I've invested my time, money, and have received donations for the homeless. With volunteers, we have made goodie bags of socks, gloves, toothbrushes, toothpaste, wipes, handwarmers, snacks, and feminine items. Some of the goodie bags had lotion, and body wash. For the children we gave puzzles, coloring books, crayons and snacks.

What started off as a family tradition for Christmas has now become something much bigger. 2014 we made 250 bags. 2015 we made over 500 bags. 2016 we made almost 1000 bags. We then take these bags to the homeless shelters and hand them out and ask them if they would like prayer.  I would like to continue doing this monthly. As a believer of Christ I believe its my duty to serve the least of these, and to stand for justice and righteousness.

I will continue to do what I've done. In addition to putting these bags together I have gone out with a few others to the streets of Chicago for the last two years. I have gone to the strip clubs, massage parlors, and dive bars and have spoken and prayed over women that are being trafficked. Do you know that over 85% of women that are trafficked have been sexually abused as children. They have no self worth, or value. I don't question them or judge them. I just love on them.

I will used the money you give me for socks, gloves, snacks, ext. We will hand them out monthly for the homeless and for victims of human trafficking. I'm also putting business cards of church services they can attend and finding programs with more help for them.

Please help me help others. We as a community can make a difference. I will attach pictures of lives that have been touch.

If you have any questions feel free to ask...

Thank you

God bless you!

Here are a few shelters.

We go to men shelters, women shelters, and family shelters. We then hand out the goodie bags and ask if they want prayer. Most of the time they want prayer and are hopeful. Lots of hugs are given, we let them know we care. The final picture is of the bags that were made.
