"Tell the chef, the beer is on me."
A fellow blogger and friend Julie, posted the most heart wrenching story about a young mother with three children who was begging and living on the streets of San Francisco in order to escape an abusive relationship. Julie took action to try and help Kalaya and her children ages 9,7 and 2 months old. When Julie asked if she could use her camera and blog as a means of sharing Kalaya’s story and hopefully getting her some real help, Kalaya replied ,”It can’t be any more embarrassing than what I’m doing now.”
For a few days afterwards, Julie could not locate Kalaya and her family, but eventually with the help of a Social worker friend they were able to find her. Some small steps have been taken to ensure that this family has a warm, safe place to stay and opportunities to improve their situation, but only temporarily.
These are real people in real need. They exist, right here today in this great city. I simply can not imagine being faced with that sort of predicament for myself, much less with three precious little children in tow. Please consider donating, even if it is $5. If you can’t commit money, please give your time and either reblog or send Julie a letter of encouragement for them at the link above. Brent and I are donating money to this family as well as writing them a letter and sending up a thousand prayers for them. My hope is that this blog posting generates even more support. They will be front of mind for us both as we try to figure out other ways we can help.
Many thanks,
Melissa
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince- always been a big Harry Potter fan (even though the last book was a bit disappointing).
Angels and Demons- I love Tom Hanks. Who doesn’t?
Terminator Salvation- Christian Bale. Do I need any other reason? I love Terminator series.
X-Men Wolverine- The reviews are not that great. I’ll still watch it for Hugh Jackman.
This is going to be an awesome summer. :)
