Life on the streets is harsh. Personal hygiene articles are almost non-existent. To bathe, some use handi-wipes – when available.
Sister Barbara Joseph, a Carmelite Religious Sister in Oklahoma City, tries to meet some of their needs with love and prayers. “This is the Body of Christ”, she declares.
Barbara hands out plastic rosaries to many who will take them. “Some have never seen a Nun before”, she says. “Most only own the clothes on their backs and perhaps an extra t-shirt kept in their backpacks.” Would you consider making a donation to this effort? Money donated will be used to purchase items needed by the homeless such as clothing, blankets, bar soap, shampoo and toothpaste. All monies donated are tax-deductible.
The need is great and all amounts are a blessing to us on behalf of the homeless.
My need to open a homeless pantry this winter is a must to give food and clothing for what many predict shall be a hard and cold winter in Colorado. We are only 8,900.00 from this goal. By the grace of God, we shall raise all nine thousand dollars this month. Our web site is hislovestreetministries.com for any and all that can donate.
