For all YOU bleeding ♥️’s out there.
Someone called me a “bleeding heart” like it was some great insult. 🤣😂🤣
Who do they think is actually holding our communities together?
The “bleeding hearts” are the people volunteering at shelters, serving meals, supporting food banks, comforting someone in the depths of a mental health crisis, handing out blankets on freezing nights, working in addiction treatment, advocating for better mental health care, and refusing to walk past someone who’s been forgotten.
It’s easy to complain about people living on our streets. It’s easy to criticize those struggling with addiction or mental illness. What’s difficult is showing compassion, investing time, and believing that people are worth helping even when their lives are messy.
Poverty, homelessness, addiction, and mental illness are incredibly complex issues. They won’t be solved by compassion alone but they certainly won’t be solved without it.
The people called “bleeding hearts” are often the very ones donating, volunteering, comforting, advocating, and refusing to give up on people everyone else has written off.
The people who mock “bleeding hearts” are often the first to complain about homelessness, addiction, and mental illness and the last to help solve the problem.
You don’t have to agree with every policy. You don’t have to support every approach but history has never been changed by people who stopped caring. It has always been changed by people who cared enough to do something.
Today I helped feed 285 , , and families a delicious meal with some other “bleeding hearts”.
The strongest people I know are the ones who keep showing up for broken people or those in need after the cameras leave, after the headlines fade, and after everyone else has moved on.
So if believing that every human being deserves dignity, treatment, and a chance to rebuild their life makes me a bleeding heart…
Then THANK YOU!!!!!👏👏👏👏👏
I’d rather have a bleeding heart than a hardened one.❤️
Thank You ALL for the support.
