Updates on Atlanta Homeless Connect, Homelessness Awareness Week and September 11th Rememberance




Just a note to tell you what has been going on with the events:

- We now have a keynote speaker for Homelessness Awareness Week at KSU who went from homelessness to Harvard.

- Atlanta Homeless Connect is an initiative under President Obama's serve.gov and I received a letter of support by email to be used to get people motivated to serve.

- We are finally coming together as a team. I am very proud of this because it took us so long to get on the same page....... but God showed-up and showed-out!

- @goLiveid and @dreamwithfaith are really working hard on their ends to make change where they are and are helping organize "The Crusade"

- We are getting all kinds of resources for the event but we could always use more. I would like to have resources pour in from everywhere like manna from heaven.

We are making change........ all of us working together........ helping one person at a time. This is what "The Crusade" is all about....... this is what my mother dedicated 50 years of her life to...... making a difference for the less fortunate.

Please remember this day in 2001 the World Trade Towers were hit, killing thousands of people. Hold this as a constant reminder that we are better than this....... we are stronger........ we are one people, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all...... forever. Amen.
