ANNOUNCEMENT & WELCOME ALL! November 19, 2005 7:33 AM
&
I`ve been putting off starting this Homeless Project on Care2 for too long now
This group is for giving a kickstart to those on Care2 who have been wanting to help the Homeless in their Communities in some possible way, shape or form.
When looking at Care2 members profiles, I see so many that are concerned with the Homeless Issue. All over the world.
Many of us are naturally overwhelmed when we are confronted with the overall picture. Rather than let that deter us from even attempting to help, let us concentrate our efforts to see what we can do for our part in our own Communities.
Start a Care2 Group just for your Community. It can be a Neighborhood, a Town, a County, a City. Just do it!
Bring your Care2 Group link back here and post it on the groups link ?
THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION.I,LL BE GLAD TO DO ALL I CAN.I,LL READ UP ON YOUR TOPICS AND DO ALL I CAN.I WORK ALOT AND HAVE A GROUP TO HELP WOMEN THAT NEEDS TO DISCUSS,VENT,LAUGH,ALL EMOTIONS.
BUT THIS IS WHAT I FEEL IS IMPORTANT,I HAVE WANTED TO DO MORE.I DO ALL I CAN AT CHURCH WITH FOOD DRIVES FOR THE PANTRY.BUT WILL DO MORE IF I CAN.
I'm Becca co-host here. i'm currently working on a nice collage of pictures for our homepage..and if donna would like a picture for our group photo..if anyone knows of any pictures just let me know
Please set up your Care2 Homeless Community Aid groups like Debbye has done and link them to this home group for Care2 members to find.

Thank you for the invitation. This is a cause very near my heart, and we have been trying to do all we can here in western Maryland. So, I'll look forward to new ideas...and share the little I know.
Donna, am glad this group is here- and I especially feel that the focus of helping locally within each community is VITAL, absolutely vital, for homelessness to end.
It's going to take that local action, in each of our communities all over the world, to make this change.

. I`m glad you are supporting this effort. We will put a link up to your Care2 Homeless group soon. We, you & I, are not in competition when it comes to aiding the Homeless. We owe it to the Homeless to put such nonsense aside.

Homeless group in New York City November 23, 2005 5:39 PM
Hi Everyone, I've been away from C2 for a long while due to personal reasons which have been resolved recently.
I was in New Orleans during Katrina..it just worked out that way..ande it was ..well worse than the news could ever show..
I am currently in New York City, still attending Uni here, and, since the re-election of the Mayor and his non-action, cold lack of awareness of people in need *be they homeless families or just in need of FOOD!*..i want to find a way to help. Most of the local agencies are struggling to keep up with the demand for food, housing itself is but a dream...
I am disgusted and depressed and will not tolerate Donald Trump's best bud, the Mayor of New York reliance upon people, those who TRY to help and the homeless themselves, to just move away/go away, leave NYC.
At present, this Mayor is more concerned with NYC being approved for the Damn Olympics..which this City needs like a hole in its head, since it's still on ORANGE alert (same as D.C.) since 9.11 and remains a primary target for terrorism.
We hope you will set up your HOMELESS COMMUNITY AID (HCA) group here on Care2 for your area and link back to us so other members of Care2 in your area can find it to connect to.
This is a great idea for a group. Homelessness is a huge problem in my city, so learning how to make things even a little better for these poor people will be great.
Thank you for the invite Donna. Where do I start? I live in a suburban area that does not have a huge homeless population but am near enough to a large metro area that does. There are shelters and soup kitchens and other venues but I would like to help. I will contact the metro group and jump in!!! Blessings to you!
You can also set up an affiliate HCA group here on Care2 to find members in your area who will want to join you in coming to the aid of Homeless in your area.
When you get the group up put it on our thread here on this Home HCA group so people can find you from here.
I live in rural Kentucky, in one of the poorer counties in what, according to my FIL is one of the poorer states in the US.
There is a shelter for abuse victims in a town about 10 miles from here. I really don't know much of anything about the homeless around here. No time like the present, eh?
Back when we lived in Texas and were just me, DH and the boys, we had twice to live in a motel. The 2nd time, DH's mother tried to get custody of the children because she thought that we were not providing a fit environment for them. She did not succeed.
I have a group called "Kentucky Cares, Too" but it is not specifically for the homeless. Can I post that here?
[send green star]
Can you link to us if your group is not specifically for the Homeless? Absolutely. Why don`t you start a thread on your group that addresses the Homeless in your area and then it certainly can be an affiliate here.
We have a thread to put your link on so Care2 members in your area who want to aid the Homeless can find you. Also, please put a link back to our Home group showing you are an affiliate of HCA ?
Again, welcome aboard and thankyou for doing your part!
There seems to be a lot of homeless gonna happen soon because the FEMA money runs out this month and also some leases on apartments over in Houston are not going to be covered.
I am new to this group...Gonna get starting on working on my HCA page shortly...I will be doing Baltimore and surrounding areas of Maryland...we have lots of people homeless in Baltimore...I udes to be homeless and know what its like to be homeless.
I would like to help,signing petitions etc.,Its scarey,I was close to being homeless long ago,and some close to me had their homes damaged in Mississippi. Did anyone see that Guy on FOX.News who is forceing everyone in that community in Florida out of their homes just because he wants to build a shopping mall there instead? Its Outrageous.Where will they movie to?

I really do need to start a thread here on DEVELOPMENT. It`s out of control all over the U.S. as well as the rest of the world. Shantys being torn down, Squatters being forced out of abandoned buildings, depressed neighborhoods being taken over with eminent domain laws, mobile home courts bought out for condos.....
