Art4THZineChristmas09

There are many families spending this Christmas in homeless shelters all across America. I was there several years ago at the ages of 9, 10, and 11. People made a difference in my life. Now let's make a difference in the lives of homeless Americans in 2009.

$5.00 is all it takes.

I am pledging $5.00 to The Providence House in Shreveport, LA, the homeless shelter I stayed in as a child.

If you can't pledge just $5.00 there is another way you can make a difference. Right now.

God is all around you. Close your eyes and bow your head. Ask Him to touch the lives of the homeless families in the USA.

I CHALLENGE YOU TO PRAY OR PLEDGE $5.00 TO A HOMELESS SHELTER IN THE USA

I also ask that you repost this on your own page.
