PLEASE MEET JOSHUA:
In this new day of Covid-19 there is so much uncertainty. Uncertainty which leads to fear, fear for all of us. Time to be there for each other.
IMAGINE what that means for those living on our streets with nothing, watching the world shut down around them, watching everyone go inside to be safe. Time to be there for each other.
FH Facebook Message from Joshua who is homeless:
"Hello Rex"
"I could really use some help yo"
"I have no way to eat"
"Like everything is shutting down"
"There are no people to spange" (spange = spare change)
"No food banks"
"I'm like f_cked"
"Idk what's happening"
"I could really use some help"
"I don't have food"
"I can't find work"
"Please message me"
"We are not doing very well"
"It's really scary"
Visiting Joshua this morning, standing six feet away, he told me the clutch went out in his van, that he's freaked out about it getting towed, that he will lose everything, he was in a bigBIG panic. He's having a hard time thinking straight.
Hoping to raise $300 so he and his girlfriend could stay in a hotel for three days to get needed rest and time to get his head around on what next. Panic has a serious way of hiding good decision making.
UPDATE: The Paypal link has been pulled in that the goal of raising $300 has been reached with $1,227,36 donated, wowWOW!! This will mean the world to them in a time of craziness. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone that stepped up to help. No funds will go to Joshua directly and no funds will go to Facing Homelessness. All funds will be used for hotel stay for Joshua and his girlfriend. If there are any left over funds, for whatever reason, they will be used for hotel stay for others in need. LOVE,
Hang in there Joshua, you are a good man going through some very tough times. This community LOVES you.
