My Dream/Passion: Is to help our homeless, working class poor, human laboured, etc. women over age 18. To learn life skills that will take them out of poverty to starting their own productive business. I am a life skills coach and special needs mediator, who wants to start helping in grander ways, that I can not afford.

I have been volunteering with our destitute since 2001, this is where my heart is. I am a Christian, who has been helping in outreach services (outside these days.) We collect donations of a wide variety of food, clothes, footwear, toiletries, etc. then give right to the people we serve. If they have a particular need, we take their order, try to give it to them as soon as possible. If we do not have it, place the order (on name given) online for our community to hopefully come forward to fill. Then make arrangement(s) to give it to them a.s.a.p.. We have even driven a fellow to the train station out of town, so he could go to live where his family is further way. It is just so simple, but oh so very important.
Thank you in advance for at least hearing this out.
Sincere love,
