Last year I bought an old motor home with the intention of donating it to a family in need of shelter. I contacted numerous churches and social service groups (not capitalized intentionally).

Not to make light of a terrible situation but there is a bit of a siver lining. We are human beings. We are extremely resourceful when our back's are against the wall. There are many people out there trying to come up with answers and this is one place where we can connect. Thank you NCN for being here. I would like to talk to others who are interested in helping me to co-create an alternative to welfare and living on the edge. I believe that a person should be able to keep their dignity and in fact cultivate their inner strengths in tough times. I believe that it takes a whole community apmosphere built to stablize and nurture young people who believe in themselves and their potential.
I have contacted many people hoping to describe in detail the model I have spent many years working on. All it takes is a response, a show of interest. It's no mystery, in fact it is very simple as so many good solutions are. I want to know that you're out there, also working on your own ways to help. Talk to me. Tell me what you have in your heads and hearts. I would like to share with you too.
Perhaps together we can make things happen, soon. There are so many right now that need our help.
