poverty and the fight for a place to sleep

It's cold outside tonight, hay that's november for ya. Snow Ice and minus degrees c who knows weather.

but Most of us only have to move through it. not live in it.

I went to Homefest today and lisened to some great artists talk, sing and inform us about the plight of the homeless.

more then 2000 people are out there tonight in the cold with out a place to lie down. some of them are lucky enough to be able to couch surf, but not all.

the Waiting list for low income housing is over a year long
and most shockingly if 1% of the governments annuel budget was spent on this issue it would no longer egsist.

it's not just single males out there or drugeys and drunks like some would have you think. there is Familys, Men women and children. there are people with money and jobs, educations. they just didn't find the luckto have a place to lay there heads.

think about that. next time your complaining about shoveling your walk, about the size of your garage(you could probobly sleep two familys in it anyway.)or the raising property taxes and rent/house payments.

How can each of us help, this is how. Spread the words talk about it. care!
