He was in the streets and alleyways and had compassion for the homeless and defenseless. I am thousands of kms from SF but have added this precious little family to my prayer list. God will use more angels to do the practical things needed. He used you to tell the story and give this family back their worth.

To many times, people (me included) let their fears of an unsafe situation trump their desire to reach out and help fellow human beings. Its sad really. Stories such as this always remind me that sometimes it is OK to give a little help to someone with less fortunate circumstances. Thanks for being that little reminder.McBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02707631354598052429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-23775624454315586282009-05-04T08:21:00.000-07:002009-05-04T08:21:00.000-07:00TB,

There's so much atrocity in this world, and families being homeless is one of them. I live in Norway, and I live in a small place, and I am not used to seeing homeless people out on the streets and stuff. It must be heart wrenching to see! And I guess if one is so accustomed to it, they become "invisible" after a while. From what I've read I've understood that this is quite a big problem in the US, and it saddens me so much to read that. I feel for all those families, struggling to make it through just another day. Bless them. I admire you for doing this, and I can say that I've donated some. I hope Kelaya and her family can be helped a little by it at least.<br /><br />Take care, and I will pass this on<br /><br />Hugs from Monsoon (that isn't my real name, but I prefer to not give my real name away) in Norway <br /><br />xxxMonsoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10056808252068413386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-6476714902889668612009-04-28T04:25:00.000-07:002009-04-28T04:25:00.000-07:00You may not think yourself a hero, but you certain...You may not think yourself a hero, but you certainly are a Fairy Godmother working your magic!Jolihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477357896484726644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254153824379805831.post-14652623055647286922009-04-27T08:20:00.000-07:002009-04-27T08:20:00.000-07:00Thank you so much for posting this.
