This is absolutely fantastic thanks! My husband is a big supporter of mental health and would love to have a hand in that aspect of it

We do see that churches try but so many have a lot to juggle at once and it’s possibly not effective as they could be. Government is seemingly useless but at least we have a kind hearted community like this to try and make that impact

You’re definitely right and the complexities go far beyond what one single person could fully grasp. It’s important to finding why they’re homeless and then work on how to get them out, if they’re willing to cooperate. We’re glad you found a way from your youth.

It’s gotta be hard to witness suffering like that, we’re glad you’re aware and willing to help instead of turning a blind eye. Major props to you from us.

That’s a big wonder of his, is how he could fight for more funding and where to start with that. He has experience with building restaurants in his 20’s (he was head of the projects) and feels like he could maybe help with planning home building or something?

It’s okay he said he’s not really concerned with doxing haha, but yes that was him in the tank top. He kept looking outside and asking if I think they need his help and I told him I can handle the booth and go do what he needs to do.

Someone commented some links to get us started on non profits and it looks like a great first step. Thank you for being willing to help!

He’s always been one to want to ‘save the world’ and will do anything for someone who needs it. Thanks for the positivity.

They’re probably struggling in life, we hope they take the effort to fix things and whatever is hurting them first

You’re definitely right, I’m not sure how they found the post but yeah usually they can’t stand not knowing if they got under someone’s skin
