Help James and his little boy
This go fund me is for James. James is an extraordinary father and man. He came to Denver colorado last month from new York, in hopes of making a better life for his son. Well the tables turned on him. This didn't turn out how it was suppose to be, leaving James and his son homeless and car-less. In the first two days James was here he happened to run into an amazing man named Leon Logothetis. Leon travels the country performing random acts of kindness. He and James shared their story and Leon helped him with a weeks stay in a hotel and 1,000 dollars. That's been a month ago. Today when I spoke to James and Leon, James is currently in a shelter with his almost two year old son. He currently has a job as a barber but has no reliable transportation. We are trying to raise money for James to get a reliable vehicle with the brutal colorado weather that is coming so that his son won't be out in freezing temperatures walking to work with his dad. (James takes his son to work with him currently because he's in need of daycare). Lets make this happen for him and his son and show him some love and that there are still good people left in this world.

Just thought I'd post a quick update. Thank you everyone for your donations and interest in James. He and his son are doing great, they have gotten a vehicle and are doing great things for the community by giving back. Thank you to the host family that they are staying with until they find what they need. I personally am about to start a new project which I have shot the idea to Leon and his management team. Leon thinks it's a great idea so we just have to go through management and get some help :)
What we are going to do is, create a new gofundme page in hopes to raise money for the homeless. Instead of just receiving money for blankets, clothes and food we hope if we can get enough support that we will be able to help with deposits for housing, clothes, food, vouchers for hotels and things along those lines. This will all be done over facebook. We will be making a facebook page something along the lines of, "National Homeless Help" . This could be a really great thing. I get messages from people almost every single day needing help and I'm only one person and can't afford to help everyone or I would. If you are interested in this project in helping, donating or even helping in a different way such as donations in hotels etc, please email me. Maybe we can get this started soon! Thanks everyone!

We been at our lowest of lows but I didnt know you were in this position! I see God taking care of you! Thanks everyone this is trully a good guy!
This is an amazing story. I would love to help however - like lots of us who have been burned oeople get skeptical. How do you know James and why is this campaign not in his name or Leons? Sorry but your in KS and hes in denver so i just want to know all the money is in fact going to him.
I contacted Good Morning America and The Early Show. I told them about the "Go Fund Me Page" and his James current situation. I want him to be blessed with a house, car, furniture, and maybe even a college fund for that oh so cute baby.
I've never met my father, he had better things to do than try to raise me. James' love and commitment to his son is beautiful beyond words. He is humanity at it's best.
Until he gets a reliable car, I will be more than happy to either pick him up and drive him to work or pick him up and take him home. I just went through 6 weeks without a car and it was ugly! So happy to have wheels again. Denver is really hard to get around it, even with good public transportation. Let me know. Inbox me on Facebook.
This is on Leon's page for those who are wondering: Leon Logothetis- I know James and connect Kayla with James. My Management company has verified her 100% and she has my support. Bless You All Unlike · Reply · 17 · 4 hrs https://www.facebook.com/leonlogothetis/?fref=ts
it was $7k for a reliable car... the rest is for housing, basic needs etc. Save the negativity for another campaign, we all gave with open and joyful hearts.
Hello I have a gently used carseat that James can have and a stroller i barely used too. If you guys send delivery information I will gladly send it to him. Also, as it may, I have a baby boy too, who has outgrown his baby clothes, shoes, coats, etc. I can send you those as well. Please let me know how to get these items to him. Side note, most of the clothes and shoes were barely worn, and purchased brand new.
I just wanted to say, you all are donating to an amazing guy and his awesome son. James has kept me positive through so much lately..When I have needed someone to talk to he has been there to listen and stay upbeat and help us through these rough times with words of wisdom. His son is the cutest little guy ever. I am so happy for him and the fact that all of you have had the heart to donate is just so amazing. Its such a blessing to him and his son and they truly deserve it.
This GoFundMe link is posted on the FB page of Leon Logothetis so I would say it's on the up and up
If gofundme take 7.9% and $0.30 per donation, then we should try to raise a little extra (commission and fees) so James gets the full $20,000. Come on y'all, James touched our hearts for a reason, his son (angel) is more than enough reason for us all to dig a little deeper.
Please raise the limit to $30,000 so he can have that $20, 000 after all the deductions. This is for a young beautiful family!
Thank you so much Kayla for the update. I hope he can get over $100,000, new car, and new furniture. That this money can help him put a dowpayment on a condo or small house he can own, stability is everything to someone that has been homeless. Can a media outlet be contacted for him maybe they can help spread the word; so that he can have a house mortgage free also. Blessings to you and your family Kayla.
My husband, Gabe, and I used to live in Denver and we had a monthly project where we fed the homeless in the "Triangle" area by the DRM and Samaritan House. We have since moved to Greeley (about 1 hour north), but we continue to do our very best to offer what we can to those in need. I don't know how to contact Mr. Moss, and I don't have a lot of funds to share, but I DO have a warm home, plenty of space, kids for his toddler to play with, tons of food and love, and am willing to share it with them. You are more than welcome to share my info (all of my contact info is on my FB page) with Mr. Moss. We are happy to drive to Denver to pick him up, if needed, and extend a hand. We've been one paycheck away from being on the street MANY times. We lived in a 1 BR apt for 3 yrs, with our 4 kids sharing the BR while we slept on a futon in the living space. We know what it's like to be at that point, and it's scary, especially when you have kids. We just want Mr. Moss and his son to know he has friends in Colorado, and we're happy to help as we can.
Maybe it can go to $20,000.
This story is amazing and I want to help. May I ask how do you know James and Leon because I see you live in Kansa .. Would hate for this to be a fraud and he and his son never see a penny from this!
