"Hoodies for Homeless"


My desire accelerated as I viewed a friend’s Youtube film “Hoodies for Homeless.” I have a smoldering passion for truly homeless people, and to observe someone else take action in helping them brought a twinge of motivation. My mind scurried to different ideas that I could do, and places that I could help.  Their idea was so simple, why hadn’t I thought of doing that? Am I too selfish of my own time to help someone else in need? I have come up with a personalized idea to plan for my own “Hoodies for Homeless.” It may not include t-shirts and hoodies, but something more along the lines of crocheted hats and something warm and beneficial for them. I ponder the quote, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” And I realize that I would be giving a man a fish, but you can’t starve a man while you teach him how to fish. Someday, maybe I will teach a man out of a homeless life, but for now, I will feed him and help him grow.
