Awesome story Robin....thank you so much!!!

What you are about to read warmed my heart. There are so many decent people out there who have no one to turn to and nowhere to go. What Robin and her son did for this man is priceless, yet he also gave them a gift to cherish as well. Thank you Robin for sharing this story with me and thank you all for the kindness that you such as Robin and her son, display every day toward the poor, oppressed and homeless in America.

Hello Ron, i hope you dont mind my sharing something with you!!! I know you work with the homeless, as i and my son do..we help a local shelter, and gather blankets clothing and such, but i want to tell you about a certain gentleman i have come to know. The past 5 years there is a man that walks around with this "belongings" in a grocery cart, his name is Jerry, i first began giving him 10.00 at a time, as i knew he was not a drinker and would use it for food!!! My son and i run into him quite a bit and he knew that my son will be leaving for the Air force soon, well, the other day, i saw him and gave him what i promised..a Browns coat!!!!!!! It was always a little joke with us, as he, in the winter wore a steelers coat, and i told him "we cant have that"!! My son bought him the coat, and when we would see him next, we gave it! he was soooo happy, it warmes my heart to see his smile every time i see him, he is so grateful for everything, and never have i seen him beg!!!!

Sorry this is so long..well i ran into him last night as i went to Walmart, he is sometimes laying in the grass field near there, and he saw me and motioned to me, so i drove up to him and got out..what he did, brought me to a very hard sobbing cry, he had used some of the money people give him, and bought my son and I a guardian angel pin, one for me as he says for helping him, and one for Robbie as he goes into the Air Force!!!!!! Ron, to say that warmed my heart in an understatement..this man is mentally challenged, and he lives on the streets, because he has a brother at home who beat him all the time, so this is his choice, i found this out from my friend and neighbor who is a deputy for the county, and they too, help him!!!! As i went to hug him like i always do, he stopped me, as he always does, and says i dont want to get you dirty!! That never bothered me!! I told him..give me a hug with a smile, and he smiled back and gave one. I let him know what that meant to me and my son..he told me he was sorry he made me cry!!! lol I let him know it was a good cry!!!! I had to share this with you, so i am sorry that it was so long!!!! Have a great day, Ron!!!

Coming Soon!

Hi everyone,

Look for posts shortly and please reply with your comments.

See you all soon.

Advocate for the poor, oppressed and homeless in America

I NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE!!!

Homelessness in this country continues to grow at an alarming rate with more and more Americans now living in cars, sleeping in the beds of pickup trucks, finding shelter in condemned and abandoned buildings, yet our government continues to look the other way.

I am asking for your help in supporting homeless shelters across America and particularly, help for the Homeless Voice Shelter in Hollywood, FL. This shelter is a non-profit organization operated by the Cosac Foundation. The organization receives no government funding on any level whatsoever and relies solely upon the generosity of the donating public.

I have been with this organization for nearly five and a half years and continue to work toward this wonderful cause and continue to be an advocate for the poor, the oppressed and the homeless in America.

I humbly ask all of you who read my blog and believe in this cause that you simply donate just ONE DOLLAR to the Homeless Voice Shelter. Your dollar will go a long way in providing continued shelter for those who are now on our streets, it will help purchase food for those now living at the shelter and will help us continue to provide medical help to those homeless in need of it.

Please view this link to the Homeless Voice Shelter and learn what the organization is all about.

I honestly believe that ALL OF YOU will truly make a difference and know in my heart that once you have viewed this website, you will all realize that Americans cannot allow Americans to go homeless.

Thank you all and my apologies for not posting anything to my blog in the past several weeks, I've been extremely occupied with the shelter and I promise you all that I will resume posting to my blog on a regular basis.

God Bless you all and once again, my sincerest thanks to all of you who have encouraged me to continue spreading the word regarding homelessness, your support will always be appreciated.

Take care for now and keep reading my blog......I NEED YOUR HELP, PLEASE!!!

UPDATE

My thanks to those of you who expressed concern that I had not posted to my blog in recent weeks. 

The fact of the matter is that I've been extremely busy with the homeless shelter and our organization's efforts in providing relief to Haiti.

I will resume posting more regularly and ask again that you PLEASE post your comments and give me your input.

Once again, to all of you, my sincere and heartfelt gratitude for your interest and concerns, look for new posts shortly.

As always, God bless you all and thanks again.

JUST A THOUGHT!!!

Just think for a minute. How would life be if all of you became homeless? With the tragic situation our country faces these days with unemployment rising to record highs, mortgages being foreclosed upon, gasoline and food prices going up, is there any hope for a so-called economic recovery that our government wants us to believe is nearby?

The television networks seem to be totally focused these days regarding the comments made by the Senate Majority Leader regarding President Obama. Who cares I say....is that the number one priority that is the news these days....Focus people, focus on what is at hand in this country. I tell you now that more of us will become homeless because Washington just doesn't get it.

The voting public needs to revolt with the vote the next time around. Vote these idiots out of office and demand from our government that PAC and other special interest groups be totally eliminated from the voting process.

I will post a new comment in the next few days and simply ask that all of you who read this and truly care, write your comments so that I can have the ammuniton I need to send a message to Washington.

Thank you all as always, and may God bless you all.

Ron

Happy New Year To All!!!

May all of you enjoy a very Happy New Year.

Each and every new year offers hope for a better tomorrow, yet many will still be without family, without jobs and without a home. I pray that those who are without all of this be given new hope for a better tomorrow.

From myself and all of those in my life, please accept my sincere wish for a better and more peaceful new year.

Ron
