Thank you to Ed, Don, and Carol for preparing lunches and for delivering eight more pallets to our camp!

We also delivered totes with lids in order to keep their clothing dry. They were so appreciative - thanks to Don and Carol!

THANK YOU!!!

A huge shout out to those who have provided items from our Amazon wish list. It feels like Christmas every few days on my porch.

I'm going to turn the focus on food for November. Seems appropriate . . .

Again, thanks for your continued generosity.

I received the following text this evening from a friend of ours living on the streets. It melted my heart and broke my heart.
Living on the streets is NOT easy.
Their tent was flooded with 4 inches of muddy water a few weeks ago with the rain.
This time they were up on pallets and thought they would be safe from the rain. And then the 'new' tent leaked everywhere.
It's tough. Especially when it happens in the middle of the night- which is always.
Tomorrow we are taking down 8 additional pallets, lunch, and a few hugs.
--
Also if you have anymore storage containers, I could use a few more. I thought I had our tent situation figured out until it rained yesterday. The tent we put up leaks everywhere. From the roof to the floor. And we got wet again 😫😫😫😫

So we’re in process of patching our old one up and going back to it.

To be honest I wanted to just give up, it was so discouraging… Instead I had a good cry and started moving things around…

Thank you for all you do for EVERYONE, (not just our camp)…

I know you do not get near the appreciation you should!!
It does make a difference and I wish there was more people in this world like you!! A true angel sent straight from the lord.. 😇😇😇🥰🥰

I often get asked in the winter months why our homeless friends will not go into a warming shelter.

This short video explains why.

This was such a great day, and how I met my friend, Tim Ezell

We surprise a woman who deserves it.

Today was a GLORIOUS day passing out huge lunches, tarps, and blankets.

Thank you, Immanuel United Church Of Christ, for the generous bounty! We had SIXTY sandwiches today!!! Roast beef (for the win) and turkey (for those who do not eat red meat). Lots of cookies, bananas, and chips. And all the water they wanted.

The weather was beautiful, a couple was building a base for their tent (supplies we provided this week), taking time for chatting with us (building real relationships), having plenty to eat for lunch - with a sandwich left for dinner, and joy and laughter.

We heard several times, "God is right on time".

HUGE shoutout to The Garden in Ferguson. To JT, the respected leader, in making places for the homeless to 'just be'. The homeless in Ferguson have such respect for JT, the baristas, and The Garden. It's a truly beautiful relationship. I learn from JT.

Lynn and I were so blessed today. Driving home laughing and recounting stories.

A really good Sunday . . .

I had a mid-size emotional/heart/soul/brain last Sunday.

Nicole has been attending One Family Church on Delmar for a few months. She lives homeless in the Delmar community. She has been sleeping on the ground with no tent since I've known her. Nicole had to carry with her at all times her two suitcases, purse, and a backpack. She spends much of her days at the library.

Last week, she was robbed.

Sunday at church she told me of a new sleeping opportunity.

When I drove her there, it was a 7' x 15' fenced in space that one protected a heating/cooling unit - long since not in use and destroyed.

The unit sits near center of the space. Truly tight, but so far a SAFE home.

When I left the parking lot on Sunday, leaving Nicole to sleep on the dirt, rocks, and sticks . . . I had lot of questions to ask 'myself'. I was not happy with me at all.

I've be in relationship with people on the street for 18-19 years. I have to be able to drive off, knowing I will see them again soon.

I could not drive off with peace Sunday. Was up through the night was 'what now'? Am I that person?

I've settled through the week on an area of calm (as of 1:00 pm today).

A few days ago a friend of mine from One Family and I set up a 1 person tent, a camping toilet, a trash bucked with lid, water, and a food bucket with a lid.

I took her dirty laundry and left clean.

And we knew, it was not enough. The small tarp with the tent was not going to protect her from the elements.

Went back down with a friend today, and we put two pallets under her tent to protect her from ground moisture, a foam piece on top of the tarp, on top of the pallets. Then hung the tarps so that rain would run off, and it still gave her a place for a private toilet, to stand to get dressed, and her other two buckets.

Indeed, this is the smallest of tiny 'houses'.

Nicole said when she came home to the tent a few days ago, she just cried.

Today she was in sweet gratitude for our care for her.

And we DO care for her.

Working with One Family to find long-term options for her.

Attached is the new Amazon wish list.

Priority today is tents, sleeping bags, and bulb looking lights. It is getting dark early. .

Though everything on the list could be used. :)

The camp moved to a place that has concrete - which they thought was great. They did not know this area would be 5 inches deep in water after a storm.

Also, not every tent was up on pallets. I have a friend looking for 24 pallets, to get every tent off the ground prior to the next storm and winter. Once people have the ability to have pallets under their tents, they will be required to have pallets prior to receiving a tent.

Unless it's just a 2 person tent for people wandering on the street, who do not live at a camp.

Instead of replacing all the tents today (which we did not have on hand), we took brooms, mops, cleaning supplies, and towels for them to clean their tents. The hard thing was, it was still raining and their tents had 2-3 inches of rain in them. Ugh . . . We did take lots of tarps. One of the ladies introduces us to a store downtown that sold tarps half the normal price.

Joel rode up to us on a bike today. Everything he needed, except wipes, we had in the car for him. It was a pleasure to meet him. He was a gentle soul.

We loaded up a homeless man in Ferguson before we even got out of The Garden Studio Cafe parking lot!

A dear friend of AAU purchased $550 of food at Costco for the homeless. They provided me with their shopping list. I'm excited to go back tomorrow and let them grocery shop in my car. :)

One of the men has Psalm 23 tattooed on his back: The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
