Back to writing on the ole' blog

I haven't blogged in a while...somewhere along this journey of helping CLT's Homeless, it became harder and harder to put words to what was happening out on the streets. It's one of those rare instances where, while trying to help those that are helpless, in someways, not being able to help them as much as I would like, made me feel somewhat helpless. I'm extremely proud of all of my volunteers and my organization. We've continued to push through the stereotypes that surround those in need...and we haven't given up on them. We definitely have made a difference in the lives of many homeless individuals, and I have to remind myself that just like life, this journey is a progression and that I should not be disappointed with any of our efforts. There is still plenty of work to do. We will get there...and so will the homeless. In the upcoming months, we have a fundraiser planned for October, and details will soon emerge of our major push on the city and citizens of Charlotte to pay attention to the voiceless...this event will happen on December 9th, 2012 at Panther's Stadium. Here is a video that we recently released about our time on the streets with our homeless peeps: Whispers from the Streets of Uptown CLT
