Building Community

We had a great meeting at Priestfield. Thank you Father Bill for making that happen. I also want to thank all our guest speakers: ex-homeless family Carman, Ray & Mark, Dr. Grove, Pastor Karen, Mario, Chrissa from Catholic Charities, Tony Green, and Mr. Applegate.

We were able to show the homeless in a new light. Thanks to everyone who donated time, food, blankets, and sleeping bags. A special thanks to the members of St. Bernadette Catholic Mission. They worked hard and made several sleeping bags for us to hand out. It’s Christmas time. Many people suffer through depression during the holidays. Imagine being alone and homeless.

Executives at Oceangate want to see me wrap this film soon. I will try. It’s hard to turn it off when I see more and more abuse. For example a pregnant homeless woman was abducted this month outside of Washington DC. The kidnapper explains to her (after holding her for five days) that she was tough and could handle what was about to be done to her. She then attempted to cut the baby out of her. The homeless mom escaped and was taken to a local hospital. Good news – the mom and baby are fine! They named the baby Miracle.

Many people have donated time, food, and clothes to this cause. We must finish this film so we can see these types of results nationwide.
