RE: Meet Julia and Mike - Neuro-Marketing for the Homeless , Advertising for Compassion
Thank you for your words of kindness, @amarie. I'm glad you had a small support system, but as you know, many don't. You are so right, it takes so much courage to stand there with a sign, literally begging for mercy from a world gone seemingly cold. But ya know, as I've stood on those corners talking with the sign holders, I've watched so many people in their new cars, clearly well to-do, pass right by. It takes a special kind of "courage" to look another human being in the eye, and refuse them help, when they so clearly could spare a dollar or two. I have found that they people who could least afford to help, are the ones most likely to do so.
I'm so glad we connected. This is like being in heaven, surrounded by angels. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better!
yay! so happy we connectes too. There are so many wonderful people on here :)
You're so right there is a whole different kind of "courage" (though I think it may be ignorance mixed with cowardice) to pass right by these sign holders or people sleeping on the street and refuse to help.
My husband and I are always getting coffees or gloves & hats for our homeless friends in our town. We try to help at least one a day in some small way. We are super lucky to have had our van working all winter because here in Mass it gets very cold!
So blessed to have stumbled onto your blog. I think we may take part in your sign challenge! What a great idea. :)
Oh please do! Let us know what you come up with for sayings on the signs. And absolutely let us know of the results! I'm so excited that you are going to try it! :)
