Why: It's not a simple situation being without a home. To get a job, you need a home/address, yet to get a home you need money, and to get money you need a job. As a team we want to help those around us because we feel it's the right thing to do. We understand that not everyone has it easy and anyone can become homeless. There is currently an estimate of 150 million homeless people worldwide and anyone can be apart of that but “people often forget that kindness is free” — unknown.
What: Our plan is to deliver care packages with basic necessities to people in need of them. If you want to learn further about it then go to the project and click on the section labeled “Operation Helping Hands” where you can see the materials needed for them, dates, and more. Apart from the care packages we also want to bring awareness to this issue. Being homeless is not something to judge and we want to educate others about it threw our website and social media. In the future, we want to start helping through the school system. We'd like to get in contact with big organizations and constantly be able to distribute resources to those in need of them. Students can come to our team and we'd like to help them with finding shelters or receiving items they might need. If you have any further questions, thoughts, or you want to give donations such as materials or money than you can contact us through our Instagram (w.o.w.foshaylc) or through our Email ([email protected]).
How: We will reach out to people in our community and big organizations to receive donations. We will use donations to create and distribute care packages. Care packages will help homeless people by giving them basic necessities. Not everyone can afford them. Although this may be one out of a million steps to solve this issues we believe by spreading awareness and resources we will also be spreading inspiration for others to help.
