Our campaign still exists. If we can’t get the mortgage paid off, we would love an interest rate of about 6 percent on the outstanding balance. This would save us about $2000.00 a month. Our mortgage payment go down from $8400.00 a month to approximately $6400.00. We would need the remaining balance financed over 30 years. So, if anybody can find us a mortgage, please let us know.

however that is a lot of money for the poor, and if that low income person has an added emergency that will require money that may make them homeless. Where as, if a Movie Star over spends by a few thousand one day it does nothing to hurt them. Problems become the destroyer. The poor fall fast, the rich fall slowly, but eventually it destroys us all. Now, what has society done to the homeless? Have we nurtured them in the wrong way? Have we given them so much stress that they resort to the life of drugs and alcohol? Have the Homeless done it to themselves? Have we created systems that do not allow every person to succeed? Have their families nurtured them wrong? Were they denied proper education? Was their intelligence or job skill below average and prevented them from getting a good job? Or do they burn bridges and when they fall no person wants to help them because of past behavior? After meeting all those famous people, I realized they have so much stress that isn’t all the glamour we normal people think it is. And let me tell you, there isn’t much glamour in the world of homelessness. These people really want to have the glamour of living in their own place and not letting society take care of them. But their glamour becomes trying to at least get some cover when it rains instead of sleeping with no cover or maybe getting some throw outs at Publix that just went in the dumpster in the last 24 hours. Please remember there are many homeless left in the streets because they are off their mental health medication and they do not think it is wrong to sleep in the streets. We see them and we feel for them but they think it is “ok” to eat every so many days. These are my favorite type of homeless people. This allows me to give them a new life once they are on their medication. We can also see how the people who support our cause are celebrities as well. We don’t know most of you. There are some who send in their $5.00 a month, there are some who send in their $500.00 a week and there are some who will send a check for $1.23. In the past when I get those off non-rounded numbers on those checks like the $1.23 I could not figure why such a number. Than one day a little girl made some money doing chores in her little community. Her little letter explained how she wanted to tithe a certain percentage of her earnings. To all of you ,no matter the amount of the check, we love you for what you have done for our little celebrities we call the homeless. It’s not just the amount of money that makes us happy; it’s also the notes we get. Two years ago, I received a check from my best friend’s parents, who I haven’t seen in over 15 years. I grew up with their son. When I saw the name on the envelope, I had a very big smile knowing that they supported the cause I worked very hard for every day. People, I am asking you to do what ever it takes to help us in our goal. One day, I would love the same support that was given to Elizabeth Taylor’s AIDS Foundation. Let me daydream for a moment: I would love to have another grand opening of several more homeless shelters and the same famous people behind us to make our goal a little bit easier. And as I stop daydreaming, I know two things. The first thing is that, we need to pay off this mortgage before we open up the next one. The second thing is that when Lois gets up tomorrow since she is covering for me until I get better, she will meet some new celebrities as they line up at our doors. And yes, they will be a victim of “an equal opportunity de

stroyer” Why is that? Problems do not discriminate; they come to all people no matter how rich, how poor. We are all so equally destroyed by the same problems except the poorer you are, the problems can destroy you faster.

By the way, if everybody who read our paper this month sent in an extra five dollars we also would be able to pay off our mortgage completely. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

him in prison for two years. "You're being pushed out on the streets," he said. "It's hard to get a job with a felony record." John Fullinwider, a longtime advocate for the homeless, encouraged the homeless to keep fighting for their rights. "It's not a crime to be homeless," he said. The city recently organized the Homeless Neighborhood Association to give homeless people a voice. Officials from the city's crisis intervention unit, which formed the association, watched Tuesday's demonstration. "I think this is a really great example of representative democracy at work," said Dave Hogan, crisis intervention unit manager. Only a couple of police officers and a few city employees taking smoke breaks were outside City Hall to listen. Mayor Laura Miller said recently that addressing homelessness was a top priority. She could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Many of the homeless people planned to sleep outside City Hall on Tuesday night in memory of Gregory Biggs. Mr. Biggs was killed in Fort Worth in October 2001 by Chante Mallard, who hit the homeless man with her car and drove home with his body in her windshield. Ms. Mallard was convicted of murder last week and sentenced to 50 years in prison. Lost Bond
