Every year a new family is added to the rolls of homelessness. Every year a family finds themselves going from homeowner or apartment renter to living in a homeless shelter, all because they found themselves victims of the One paycheck away from homelessness syndrome. It is as sad a tale as it is disheartening to find an already struggling family who went from being a family of 2 incomes, whittled down to a family of one income, and now finding themselves facing the harsh reality of being on the other side of that foodshare hand out line. That same family who used to donate food and clothing are now the new users of such services. I have for many years, wondered how to help stem the tide of such a situation and it always boiled down to "but I am but one person, how can I really make a difference?" So, I searched and searched, for a way that could make that difference happen. What I finally found made my heart leap for joy and sing with great happiness; I found that Golden Grail that could produce a win-win situation and produce more homeless advocate benefactors than anything else I had ever seen! It falls within my Diva motto of "Do Something For Yourself That Helps Someone Else!" and it does and then some! I thank those who are on the front lines of homelessness day in and day out. such as the Family Homelessness Prevention agency.
Most people don't think about homelessness when they go on vacation to their yearly week at their $10-$20 or even $50,000 Timeshare condo. Some just plan a 7-14 day cruise and some just search for the best online deal they can find and book that way. But what if there were a way to not only take the world's most luxurious, 4 & 5 Star, hotel and resort vacations but at the same time, you could help take a bite out of the homeless population-for a chosen individual or family? Would you do it? Here's to hoping that you would! Turn up your speakers and learn
about a club designed with affordable affluence in mind. A club that can not only give you a relaxing piece of mind but gives you, the member, the ability to help give the gift of comfort and peace to someone else! Imagine the priceless thank you's from having given someone else the help they needed to obtain a place of their own? What a great feeling with the holiday season fast approaching having helped someone feel safe and sound, in their own bed or watching their new t.v in their new place! Now that's the kind of generosity I'm talking about! Gives a whole new meaning to Luxury Vacation spending! Tell 'em TheFundraisingDiva sent you!
