I think what you are doing to raise awareness about the homeless is great. I want to remind everyone about the growing number of homeless youth. These are kids transitioning into adulthood with little resources. We currently have a 20 year old homeless boy living with us. His family was evicted from their home about 5 months ago. The mom and three children are all living apart, taking shelter where it was offered. It is especially sad during the holiday to see this family struggle. It is difficult to stay hopeful when they have such a large hole to dig out of. This young man is talented and creative with much to offer this world. The face of homelessness has no specific age. God bless you both. Michele Hi Prem & Cheridy,

Meeting Terry changed my perspective in a lot of ways about the Detroit homeless. I had a very good conversation with JT (6 years old) the following day about people who live without food and sleep outside at night. You should have seen his eyes pop when I said they have to sleep in the rain and cold. I think it is great you are using the talents God gave you in this way. I personally have a very difficult time delivering food to needy families or serving in food kitchens, but give me a video camera any day and I will shoot all day long for the greater glory of God.
