Sharon Stone..Jamie Foxx or an Insurance Exec? Are you listening?

Okay, so you're a hotshot executive, probably running your own company, taking those long, exotic and gorgeously tropical vacations. You live in a beautiful home with a beautiful family, no worries about food or utilities, along with the family dog and driving a beautiful car, with a choice of 2 or 3 to pick from. How does it feel to live the life everybody else seems to only dream about? What is it like to take those long winded, exotic vacations. Ahh, it must be nice...

My curiousity begs the question; where are you? Where are those of you in financial positions who could more than help the less fortunate become fortunate? My question is: "Are you up for putting your money and your prestige where your mouth is? Are you up for my challenge of stamping out homelessness, 3 familes at a time? I want those executives, company vice presidents and others who want something more fulfilling in their lives to come forward and fulfill someone else's dream; the dream of stability. Travelers, Aetna, Ing, BKM, ESPN, The Hartford, etc. I'm quite sure many executives have done the seasonal thing of scooping up and doling out food at their local soup kitchen and food pantry. You've also probably helped collect food and given clothing items to help individuals sustain themselves for one more week or day...and that's a good thing, but imagine for once, taking it one step further and being the benefactor for a family who's hanging on by a hopeful thread. Imagine seeing families stable for the first time, doing the things they want to do instead of what they have to do, to survive. Oh and the priceless smiles of joy on their children's faces! Imagine the happiness of being together under one roof or driving a decent car they were able to purchase that now belongs to them-all thanks to you!

It's not hard to do; you're just doing something for yourself that does something for someone else. You bought a membership that will give your families endless hours of vacation memories!So, if you could help another family live the American dream, you know, like you're living, would you? I would love to hear what you have to say. I'm only but an email away(kissmylayoff@yahoo.com) so email me! Combating homelessness is at the very core of my being and raising the bar on it is what drives me. I'm hoping it will drive you, too.
