Teach a man to fish

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT IN HELPING THOSE WHO LOST THEIR JOBS AND HOMES DURING PANDEMIC!


THE DAMAGE DONE BY THIS LAST YEAR IS PLAYING OUT SILENTLY IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN AND PARENTS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

Families have lost their jobs, homes are on the verge of foreclosure and evictions are about to explode as the government moratorium runs out in March.  Businesses are closed and some will never reopen.  There are thousands of families that will find themselves without work, homes, and food.  If this last year has proven anything we cannot count on the government to come in and save us.
 
What options do we have?  Nationwide there is one area where work is plentiful and in many states there is a shortage of skilled workers.  The construction trades are in high demand.  Our mission is to provide training in plumbing, electrical, HVAC, and carpentry, by licensed masters in each field.  Our program will provide classroom training as well as apprenticeships while providing transitional housing and food support for families enrolled in our program.  For students, they will receive their hours by working on remodeling derelict houses for the homeless and working with other charities with new construction of housing for those in need; all under the supervision of licensed masters until they are able to get their certificates to seek work on their own.
 
Once a candidate completes the program we will provide each graduate with a truck or van with all of the tools and supplies needed to be able to go to work immediately without any out of pocket expense. 
 
The old expression "give a man a fish and feed him for a day or teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" has never been more relevant then it is right now.  Many are going to have to retrain to be able to provide for their families and we can make a difference.  A small contribution of $25.00 will help in the purchasing of equipment and tools and the salaries of the instructors to make this mission happen.  We cannot do it alone.  Thank you and

God Bless
