I love helping others. One of my most challenging long-term goals is to open homeless shelters worldwide. Until then, I do small things that assist in big ways. I am confident that with the help of God and many others, my goals will be reached!

The more intensely we feel about an idea or a goal,

the more assuredly the idea, buried deep in our subconscious,

will direct us along the path to its fulfillment.

-- Earl Nightingale --

While searching the internet, I came across an online book that provides some really important information on how you can assist the homeless. This website posts an online version of the book, "54 Ways You Can Help The Homeless", written by Rabbi Charles A. Kroloff.
