The End of Homelessness

Yesterday I mentioned how one lady's life was completely changed in less than a week.

Last week, Charles and I were observing the women from the shelter to see if any of them really wanted a change in their life.

One lady stood out.

Understand you can't help someone who does not want any help.

This lady was 20 years old, no criminal record, had a resume and a drivers licence.

We did an impromptu interview with her to find out more about her.

We then contacted a friend of mine from church, Carol.

Charles asked Carol if she would walk along side this young lady.

Carol jumped right in as she has done before with my friend David.

Things were falling into place.

Charles found a place for her to stay.

Carol was going to be a kind of mentor and now all we had to do was find her a job.

Three days later she got a job.

So in less than a week this lady went from homelessness to having a place to live, a job and a friend to walk with her.

It is so cool to see God work through his people when we all come together.

If you still are one of those pessimists that think we can't end homelessness, then you need to come hang out with Charles, Carol, myself and the rest of the gang!
