Homelessness is serious problem that is over looked too often. • I encourage you to research supporting an organization and or lending a hand to help make a difference. • The time I spent in El Salvador was a huge eye opener. It allowed me to see what takes place in parts of world that I never thought existed. • I ask you this question… “What can YOU do to help change a life?” • Think about it, what you do can save a life.
