“Pursuit of Happyness".

Never had a chance to watch the “Pursuit of Happyness", and this evening after years of coming out, I watched my people in this movie hungry, homeless, sad, and seeking a miracle. If I could reach the world to show the pain that many go through on a daily basis with the despair on their face and in there heart.
I receive e-mails and letters saying we here in the "United States should not have homelessness, it will not go away by itself. I also donated to Japan, but please pull to help here as many "Pursuit their Happyness and without you won’t have a chance. I pray for shelter, food and a miracle soon. http://lovestreethotel.com/

Homeless-Please Give Me A Chance.

Most of us need a little help now and then. Help painting, doing the dishes, with homework, looking after a pet, changing a tire, or maybe with a financial problem. Very seldom do we fall into a situation that requires help to survive. You read about people that are stranded on mountains, lost in a wilderness, stuck in a cave, or more commonly, involved in near deadly accidents and need help getting out or getting well. Thankfully they are still rare occurrences.

When it comes to the homeless, needing help is an everyday occurrence. Yet the most often heard phrase is “Get a Job!”. Some help that is. This country will spend millions to get someone off a mountain that had been warned of the danger. We will send dozens of men with heavy equipment to get a horse out of a mud hole and every news outlet will feature it. We will organize fleets of ships and planes to hunt for a stricken boat with a missing man on the high seas.

Yet, when it comes to the homeless, other than those who engage in the homeless service industry and the homeless activists among us, there is little or no help when a homeless person is found laying in a doorway near death from freezing, or beaten half to death in an alley where he had been trying to sleep. Hospitals are even being accused of “dumping” homeless patients on streets near shelters. I can point you to many notable cases. (Homeless people need help. They need our help and they need it almost continuously. Consider this: If you have lost a job recently and as a result lost your home, you probably have friends and family to fall back on for much needed help. You probably have a cell phone and a relationship with a doctor for medical care and probably still have a car. You are probably not homeless long.

Most homeless have none of those things. Without a car they are stuck walking and that in turn reduces the range of where they can get help or a job. Without a phone, they have to rely on stores and the goodness of a clerk to make a call. When was the last time you saw a payphone? Many times the homeless can’t even pay to use one if they could find one.

Without a phone and a fixed address, most people could not get a job as those things are at the top of any application. No way to get a callback for another appointment - opportunity lost. No fixed address – no job. Some libraries deny a card to anyone without a fixed address. No library card, no Internet access. No clean clothes, poorly nourished, unshaven. How does that work – get a job indeed!

Can't Wait Any Longer: Need those whom won't charge God for their time.

I have struggled for three hard and long years to get Hollywood and others to get involved feeding, and sheltering the homeless and to restore them with a life where they can work again and get a home of their own. I received many reply’s saying that let me see or I shall help later or we give to cancer or other ...diseases. Well homeless becomes a huge disease as your mind goes after being on the streets to fend for yourself and when you beg for food for you and your children. When I read yesterday that many in Nevada are not a pay-check away anymore but now homeless, also unemployment in Nevada is 14.9. I wonder why I must beg for Hollywood and others to step up and say let me get involved. It’s not only scriptural in Proverbs; to feed and shelter the homeless but if you do so Gods favor shall be upon you. Come ‘on Hollywood and others help us with this vision to end homeless here in the United States; don’t let this disease reach your life. Donate or help us TODAY http://Lovestreethotel.com/See More

Nevada family fights for survival in down times 2011.

HENDERSON, Nev. (AP) — Tera Burbank pulls a frayed robe tighter across her body as she leans into the refrigerator, her eyes canvassing the modest offerings for something to pack in her daughter's lunch box. Burbank stuffs carrot sticks, peanut butter and apple sauce into a backpack and cajoles her son and youngest daughter out the front door and down the street toward the nearby elementary school. The meager lunch box offerings are just one of many painful struggles that the mother of three encounters every day while living under the weight of long-term unemployment and threats of foreclosure, hunger and loss.

Burbank and her husband, John Clark, epitomize the dreadful economic situation these days in Nevada, where a mighty construction boom has given way to a historic recession and a record 14.9 percent unemployment in Las Vegas.

Burbank and Clark are construction workers who have been out of work for more than a year. They live off unemployment and student loans. Bills go unpaid and minor spats escalate into tense threats of divorce. Their daughters are performing poorly at school, and guidance counselors and teachers blame stress. For Burbank, surviving means ensuring her children's success and protecting the one place they could ever call home. "It's our everything," said Burbank, 34, of the family dwelling. "They can take the car and we will eat cat or dog food. Come what may I'll keep that house."

All around her, Nevada seems to be falling apart. The Silver State that once plucked its wealth from deep mines and then glittering casinos has lost its swagger. The jobs crisis shows no signs of improvement. Plots of arid land reserved years ago for towering hotel projects remain untilled. Nearly half of the unemployed worked in construction.

A chunk of federal dollars — $39.6 million in November alone — provides much-needed stimulus in the form of food assistance. Roughly 322,950 Nevadans, or 11 percent of the state, received federal funds to buy food in November.

Reno Nevada Homeless.

RENO (AP) — Reno's 100-tent homeless camping area won't be shutting down.

City officials say it's a matter of humanity and law that homeless people can't be harassed or arrested for lacking a place to stay.

However, the encampment will be under some new guidelines, written by a committee of 13 "tent city" residents and approved by homeless center staff and the mayor. The regulations are designed to ensure the area is safe and doesn't present a health hazard.

The tent city started about 18 months ago when homeless people who couldn't or wouldn't take advantage of the city's services were given permission to stay on Reno's homeless services campus.

Jodi Royal-Goodwin, Reno's community reinvestment manager, said the policy was meant to be a temporary measure, but with the growth of the homeless population and the closure of Reno's overflow homeless shelter, the encampment will continue.

"We'd like to have an exit strategy, but right now there isn't one," Royal-Goodwin said. "These people have to live somewhere. It's not a place to stay indefinitely, but we have an obligation to provide a place where it's safe."

Royal-Goodwin said some of the regulations suggested by the tent city "betterment committee" are stricter and have more dire penalties than the city would enact on its own and some suggestions may be in conflict with state or city laws.

The rules will be discussed by city staff and committee members, and Mayor Bob Cashell also will review them before they are in place, she said.

Some homeless residents have said they welcome the regulations, while others have said they worry the rules and enforcement will be arbitrary
