National Coalition for the Homeless
I just read an article about a new book out: "Soul of a Woman", by A. Rose. Read about the book here; what struck me was reading that all of the proceeds of the book will go to charities that benefit homelessness and the defense of children. What can one person do? PLENTY.
One thing leads to another...the above article led me to a website for the National Coalition for the Homeless.
What a terrific site; very powerful images and information.
Putting a face to homelessness is so important to trigger something inside a person to erupt into action. Here is one such face: Cliff Carle. Read his story and think about how his situation differs from what you think of when you ponder the question, "How does a person end up homeless?"
Everybody has a story to tell.
