Groceries

Just sent a friend $145 worth of groceries.  She has 5 kids, 4 still at home in high school, and she can't work. She got injured last year and is in a wheel chair.
  She's been posting pictures of things she's selling to pay the bills this month, her camping stuff (that's how I know her, we do a reenactment together).  And she just posted a request for people's grocery coupons - the new monopoly game. She posted her address.  So I sent her groceries.  Not sure if she will be able to tell they are from me. 
   Her kids are all doing very well in school and her parents are helping so I"m hoping she won't end up on the street.

Shower of Hope

Helped out at a mobile shower for the homeless.  It's a 4 shower unit that moves. On Friday night it's in Highland park in the parking lot of a church that allows people to sleep in the pews.

Shower of hope - mobile shower for homeless

Helped out today at a mobile shower - Shower of Hope.  Incredible experience.  The group is the Monday Night Missions  that feed people on Skid row. I've joined a few times, the group is non-religious, not official, just a bunch of caring people who want to see people have basics in life, like food.  And now showers. This mobile shower is new and there are now several of them and more coming. Totally changes someone's perspective when they can have a shower.
