Colorado Avalanche

A great team but I am very disappointed with Avalanche manager Brendan who had promise to help us raise much needed money to feed and shelter the homeless. Doing this time of the year many are asking for help but when we were promised and no response it really does unable us to do so much more this this holiday season for many in need. (For my, word is my word) May they continue to prosper and keep their commitment to any others they commit to and return what they so generous get in return.
Have a bless Christmas for many will not.

Homeless..A 2 Year Journey to Myself.

A story of a woman that wrote to our site: when I read this, my heart was so touched and I thank, God for this lady and the MANY that have had experience's living on the streets and have come out of it. For the journey can be hard and sometimes deadly.

Our Story

Hi..I have seen books written about the Homeless.Mostly be people who "Visited" the homeless for a few weeks..Or, interviewed them..This book is ABOUT being homeless for two years..An everyday struggle, not only to make money to eat, but the daily situations. From Gang territories, to one of us being stabbed, to rainy weather, and even death of new friends. A murder on the beach one morning of a homeless kid, which sent fear throughout the homeless community.

I keep a diary of sorts while living in this..I felt like an outsider most of the time..I don't do any drugs or drink, and it was around me every moment of the day and night. It took awhile to gain trust from the "Oldtimers" there. But we did.

Selling our art on the Boardwalk daily helped to feed us.

The hard part was at night..Where to sleep that was safe. With gang battles taking place all around, the nights were at times a bit overwhelming. That impact on being safe was brought home when my boyfriend was stabbed and had 15 stitches in his back. We are not kids, I am 53 he is 42..It was an extremely hard time to get through.

We did. But not without learning more about ourselves than we ever imagined.

My art was my saving grace..Being from a family of artists, it was always there.But, finding my own style and comfort with it, was something I never would have imagined that would have happened being homeless.

The Impact

I would like the young kids to read this book.. They go out there (to Venice, Ca,) with images of Jim Morrison and the beach in their minds..The "freedom" they think they will find..It is not always like that..Alot of them find death.

Venice has been glorified in music and film..There are stark realities hidden in the darkness of the side streets.



I believe this is a book anyone can get something from. At times the daily drama read like a best selling fiction book..Except it was real, complete with everything from drama, to comedy, to horror, to insight.

What We Need & What You Get

The money I want to raise will give me the freedom to get this project going and make sure I have a roof over my head. I sell art on Ebay to meet my daily needs..This money would give me a break of sorts from that and concentrate on this book. Many people have told me I should write this.

I want to use the money to get this published and out there. Selling this book will not only benefit me, but a percentage of sales will go to "Bread and Breakfast" . A eating place just for the homeless in Venice..The morning meal there is sometimes the only meal people get that day.

"Cher" Burlesque

First let me say “Congratulations!” to my good friends Stanley Tucci, Christina Aguilera, and Cher for their new movie” Burlesque.” The premise of this great and remarkable movie is to believe in yourself - to push on and never stop striving to be the best you are meant to be and to fight for your dreams.
Cher’s new song is “You Have Not Seen the Last of Me.” That is my sentiment as well. Many people tell me daily that I am working on a dying cause, or too many others around me are trying to do the same thing as well so I would give up or join some other organization. Well, you have not seen the last of me, for by the power of God and the vision that he has placed in me I will open the best and most outstanding Hotel. I know the best is ahead of me.

Newly released data show that, for the first time ever, more than 39,000 homeless New Yorkers - including more than 10,000 homeless families, an all-time high -- sleep in municipal shelters each night. City data also show that, since Mayor Bloomberg took office, 45 percent more New Yorkers sleep in municipal homeless shelters each year. All in all, the new City data confirm that the current year is the worst on record for New York City homelessness since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Following are the highlights:

•There are now more than 39,000 homeless adults and children sleeping in the New York City shelter system each night - the first time ever the shelter population has reached this level.
•There are also more than 10,000 homeless families (with more than 16,500 children) sleeping each night in New York City shelters, an all-time record. Since last year the number of homeless families sleeping each night in municipal shelters has increased by 12 percent.
•During the recently-ended City fiscal year, more than 120,000 different New Yorkers (including nearly 44,000 children) slept in municipal homeless shelters. And since Mayor Bloomberg took office, 45 percent more New Yorkers sleep in municipal shelters each year. "Help us make a difference in a life". Hislovestreetministries.com

"A Plea to a Prince"

Prince William –

First of all, congratulations to both you and Kate on your upcoming wedding. I’ve had both you and Kate as friends on my Facebook page for a few months now and wish you every success.
Your family has been famous for its generosity to organizations in need. Our organization has been working hard for the last two years to feed and clothe the homeless here in the U.S., with the larger dream of opening a homeless hotel here in Denver. During the last two weeks, as I have been hearing news about your impending wedding, God has been leading me to ask you if you would be willing to help us – not out of your own pocket, but to donate a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of your wedding photos.
Many people do not want to help the homeless, as they feel that homelessness is somehow the fault of the homeless individual. But I know that – in most cases – this is not true. As I see situations on the street – like a woman without fingers who can’t get health care or a man desperate for any job – I can tell that many of these people would work hard to lift themselves out of their situations if they could only get help with their first few steps.
We are a 501(c)(3) organization working to combat homeless in Denver and in other areas. We would really appreciate any help you are willing to give.
I have included our website and some recent articles about our efforts. Thanks in advance.

City gets $558K to stop homelessness.

Salvation Army, SOS distributing federal funds

ROYAL OAK — Two nonprofit agencies are ready to dole out $500,000 of federal funds to help people facing eviction stay in their homes and to get those who already have lost the roofs over their heads into new housing.

Residents and anyone who works in Royal Oak are eligible for the aid which originated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 and has been funneled through a grant to the federal Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program and then to the city.

Royal Oak received $558,200. It gave $299,500 to the South Oakland Shelter, $202,000 to the Salvation Army Royal Oak Citadel and put the rest into a city fund for low-income residents already on a list for housing assistance.

“Rather than the city starting its own program, we channeled the money to agencies already providing the services,” Royal Oak Planning Director Tim Thwing said.

The Salvation Army, 3015 N. Main St., has $182,000 left for people who received court-ordered evictions, shut-off notices from Consumer Powers and DTE, or need hotel vouchers for temporary housing while they wait for checks from new employers or Social Security.

“The money is sitting here waiting to keep people off the streets,” said Katherine Bruner, director of community ministries for the Salvation Army. “We’re trying to get the word out.”

Bruner and her two caseworkers can help individuals facing eviction as they look for jobs through Michigan Works! with up to six months of “reasonable” rent.

“The range would be between $650 and $850,” said Bruner, adding that people trying to stay in the city’s upscale housing would not be eligible.

Qualified households are at or below 50 percent of the area median income, which is $68,400.

The South Oakland Shelter, 431 N. Main St., is using its funding to help people who are already homeless. SOS is providing security deposits, utility deposits and rent assistance for up to three months to give people new starts in apartments and houses. SOS also can help a client with moving costs.

While there are signs the recession is ending nationally, Bruner said demands for services from the Salvation Army in Royal Oak have increased.

“We’re seeing about 500 families a month, up from 400 two years ago,” she said. “People are turning to us for emergency food, utility assistance and medical help because they have lost their insurance. We don’t cover doctor visits, but we can help with prescriptions.”

Joe Murphy, a city planner, said Royal Oak has distributed all but about $10,000 of the federal funds it received to help people eligible for Section 8 with rent subsidies.

The federal grant was administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which received $1.5 billion of stimulus money to prevent homelessness, help individuals re-enter the labor market more quickly, and prevent the further destabilization of neighborhoods.

Many families depending on thift stores for Christmas shopping.

I can't afford my family's Christmas expectations, how to handle this appropriately?
November 19, 2009 12:04 PM

My husband lost his job, we're not sure how we're going to pay the rent in January, and my family is being jerks about Christmas gifts.

This is a little complicated so I'm going to try and break it down.

My family:
1. my mother and stepfather (no kids)
2. my dad and stepmom
3. stepsister A + husband + 1 small kid
4. stepsister B + husband + 1 small kid + 1 teenager

Mom and stepdad don't want us to buy them anything. They have been extremely generous. Dad and stepmom see Christmas unfolding as usual; we buy gifts for them (2 adults) the kids (3) and we each pick one name amongst siblings (so, 2 adults per family)

On his side, there are 6 adults and 5 small children. There's no expectation to get the adults anything on his side, and we're all universally broke anyway.

So, in total we're expected to buy for 8 kids and 4 adults. This is money we Do Not Have - it will go on credit cards. I have no qualms about buying stuff for kids, they're not resposnsible for our poor decision making. I would hope the adults would be more understanding, but when I suggested that we not draw names for the adults this year, I got the dirtiest look. Both of my stepsisters and their husbands are working; my stepsisters have well paying jobs. They know my husband lost his job, they know my job doesn't pay well. Appearances may be deceiving because we bought nice cars when we were both working. We made some bad decisions, I won't lie and we are working hard to rectify this. But it infuriates me that I am expected to spend $150 on adults that don't need anything, when we're already going to spend ~$200 on the kids.

Religious appeals won't work, Christmas is pretty much a secular thing. My stepmom is all OMG tradition and her daughters have inherited this attitude.

Also, we have exhausted my mother's and father-in-laws generosity, so we may have to ask my dad & stepmom for a loan if my husband doesn't find a job in December. My husband is really and truly embarrassed about taking their help, he doesn't want my dad to think less of him (my dad is old school) and he'd rather put the gifts on credit cards than make this an issue. Me, I'm just plain pissed off that they'd rather get a f--kin sweater vest than help us buy groceries. If you haven't guessed, we're not close to begin with, but there's not been any open animosity. With very little money this year the thift store is where I must shop. And if something does not change we will be homeless next month.
