Invisible Youth Network (IYN)

Helping homless and at risk youth of the world

Atlanta, Michigan can make a difference too!

 

"Something great is happening in San Diego, California that is spreading to communities all over the globe, and our hometown of Atlanta, Michigan is going to be one of the first communities to make sure that it happens---if you will join us in this endeavor! Will you help!?!"

Russell T. Hartsaw Founder and Chairman of the Invisible Youth Network (IYN) is a man that took it upon himself to help homeless children. He was a homeless child himself at one time and he knows what it is like to be in the streets with no food and no one that cared.

Russell started the Invisible Youth Network all by himself to begin feeding the children on the streets of San Diego. Volunteers freely give of their time at their expenses to help him. They go out in the streets weekly and feed these children.

We are all hoping and praying that in a few years this will cause a ripple effect and more communities will join in and each community will have their own projects and programs to help feed their own homeless children. It is a sad fact that children are starving out in the streets all alone, around the world and no one seems to care. As humans we need to start caring. These children need our help. We need to stand up and help these innocent and precious children.

This is just the first steps in this heart felt endeavor, that we at the Invisible Youth Network and Atlanta, Michigan can really get involved in and help these kids. I am very optimistic and positive that we as a community of people can really make a difference in childrens lives around the world. Someone, everyone needs to start caring. Russell Hartsaw and I, the members and volunteers at Invisible Youth Network care. You can get involved and help and care too. Every single one of us can make a difference. Pennies, dimes and quarters add up and basically throwing your change in the Homeless Youths Food Banks is what we are looking for, of course your welcome to donate as much as you feel you can and want to.

There are now 1,600 members of the Invisible Youth Network and growing, Invisible Youth Network is a growing online community that provides resources and support for homeless and at risk youths.

Our focus includes the communities and extends to the internet. There are 4000 homeless children in San Diego alone and 150 million children homeless in the streets of the world.

Really! What does it matter where you help children as long as you do. The rewards and blessings that you will feel in your heart is worth it.

All facets of Our Mission are guided by that our volunteers shall, tell kids they care and at every point prove it.

Yvonne Ladd member and volunteer will be placing donation cans in different locations around Atlanta. We can all make a difference in childrens lives. Will you please donate.

The funds will be sent to the Invisible Youth Network Food Bank. The funds will buy food for the homeless children of the San Diego and surrounding areas where homeless children are found.

Here are a couple websites to go on to to check it out.

http://www.care2.com/c2c/group/IYNBD and http://www.freewebs.com/invisibleyouth/foodbankprogram.htm

I want Atlanta, Michigan to know how important they are. I want them to know how much it means to a child to have food all year long, this isn't a one time deal, children need to be feed all year long. Do any of us here know what it is like to take food out to a homeless child, or a coat, stocking hat or a blanket and see the smile on a starving, cold child. Were you ever on the streets homeless and starving? and did anyone ever offer you food, a coat, hat or blanket?

I will be placing the cans out 3 times a year, October, Febuary and June. I will be giving an update on the funds collected. I want to thank you for your donations and caring about homeless children You are all very important to this endeavor and I hope you feel important too. I also want to thank the establishment that let me place our cans in their businesses! You are very Important in this endeavor too! All of you are! We can all make a big difference. Thank you! hugs! Yvonne
