Time Out
Door on Haight Street reads Community: All different but all help each other get the fruit from the tree.
Ain't that the truth?!

Holy moly. What a week! We got our little story on SFist, Eye on Blogs, KGO News (thank you again, Carolyn Tyler!), we were tweeted and facebooked and tumblr-ed oodles of times, we got City Hall a little riled up, and goodness only knows what else.
You guys have been fantastic. You are living proof that this world is a wonderful place, full of people who care. You care a lot.
Your support of K and the kids has been mind-blowing. My inbox is so out of control that I can't even deal with it right now. But I'm totally happy with that because you have shared your best: your hearts all in the right places. I wish I could reply to each and every one of you. Some day I will. It might take me weeks but gosh darn it, I will.
Because you were there for me.

Just so you know, K and the kids are all set for the weekend, whether or not a shelter comes through next week, thanks to you. So they're happy and I'm happy. And hopefully we will have some progress to report next week.
But today is The Boy's birthday and it's his turn for a little well-deserved attention and some TLC.
You guys enjoy yourselves and I'll catch up with you in a few. But please do visit another wonderful blog who has been very supportive of K and her family's story, helpamotherout.org. I wrote a guest post for them today.

Hi again.
Here are a couple of people to contact about helping K and her family get off the streets:
Yvette Robinson
Director of Tenant Services
Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corp.
yrobinson@tndc.org
AND
Don Falk
Executive Director
Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corp.
dfalk@tndc.org
Actually, you may want to contact Don Falk first, and when you do, tell him it was I who suggested that you talk with him. I have a four year working relationship with him and some of the folks at TNDC and I think they might very well prove helpful to you. Their website is at http://www.tndc.org/index.html.
Best regards,
Mark
