Ok I know these kinds of journals are really really really annoying. And I know almost everyone has hit hard times..But could you help?
Several of my friends have hit it really bad.
Both are now relatively homeless...well ok ONE really is homeless.
A Friend was kicked out of his house for being homosexual, and is currently wandering from friends house to friends house couch surfing. (RIDICULOUS TO BE KICKED OUT AND HATED BY YOUR OWN MOTHER FOR BEING GAY!!!)
Another is currently being kicked out.
So I'm well...
I'm going to ask you to keep them in your prayers first and foremost. They need it. December in the northwest and east are cold, and the streets are no place for people to wander.
Secondly I'm going to do something else.
I am hoping that you all will help me. Because For Christmas...all i really want is to give back. These friends have suffered enough. They were always there for me and I want to be there for them.
So here's the plan.
I'm Opening Christmas Commissions.
Cards and the like for everyone on DA, facebook, gaia, IMVU, and where ever I keep in touch with you.THIS IS NOT JUST FOR DA WATCHERS!
All money will be going to helping my friends get to shelters, and what ever extra will be going to the church for charity.
I'm not doing this for myself.
I'm doing this because there are people in need.
I don't expect to get too much. Just enough for bus tickets to where ever.
I'm estimating it to around at least 900 dollars.
That's about 450 each. It's not much I know... It's probably not even the drop in the bucket.
What ever is left over will go to helping someone.
All I know is I can't sit by this Christmas and watch more people suffer while I get a new video game, or socks, or a PS3. I want to help this time. And it's personal now because I have Friends out there in the cold.
So I'm asking for people to pull together. I'm asking for a couple dollars towards some picture or some hand made potholder. Just anything.
Full color commissions are only going to be $2.00
A potholder is $2.50
I hope to reach my goal by Christmas.
Payment is either check or money order, since I don't know how to work paypal O.o.
Come on guys I really need your help....
