Thank you Mayor Eric Garcetti for all that you are doing in helping our City's homelessness.

“No two people living on Skid Row, or in the Sepulveda Basin, ended up there for the same reasons.

Sad, but true. I see a lot of young homeless people when serving on Hollywood Blvd.

The latest count showed a 64 percent increase in the number of 18- to 24-year-olds on the streets. Authorities are better at counting them but more foster kids are also aging out of the system.

All I can say is Wow. What an awesome missions trip. From hanging with the kids at the orphanage, to visiting a women's prison and "tent city" and giving them care packages, to going to a village to build a church from the ground up for the Haitians. This trip was a major blessing. I am happy to be heading back home, but will miss this place.
