It breaks my heart when I get a call from a Mother who has been evicted and she says: We have nowhere to go
As a Housing Advocate, I assist those who are homeless - to get into shelters and help them apply for hotel/motel assistance through programs receiving Federal financial assistance. I also help those who are behind in rent apply for Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA), HUD's Emergency Solutions Grant, or Community Development Block Grants.
The problem is: the Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) application process may take weeks to process. So, homeless single Mothers, homeless persons with disabilities, and low to zero-income homeless constituents struggle day by day to pay for a hotel room to have someplace to rest, sleep, shower, and make a meal. Some families resort to sleeping in their car - through winter, hot summers, storms, and catastrophic weather.
The other thing that breaks my heart is: We have homeless constituents diagnosed with positive COVID-19 and suffering from its brutal and merciless battery of symptoms - with nowhere to self-care; nowhere to quarantine.
Try it yourself. Just call 211 (United Way), and ask for a local homeless shelter. Call the shelters one by one and ask: (1) about the availability of beds for COVID-19-positive guests (2) about the requirement for guests to leave in the morning and return after 4 PM (3) about daily or weekly fees.
Please know this, homelessness is not always the result of irresponsible actions. Many lost jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Many lost a spouse or partner through death by COVID-19. And single parents struggle to maintain their rent payments.
I need your generous donation to help Tell The World Ministries pay for temporary hotel/motel stays for families with minor children and homeless persons with disabilities or constituents suffering from chronic illnesses.
Please help us take one (1) homeless Mother out of her car, out of her tent, out of an abandoned building and give her a one (1) night hotel/motel stay - where she will be safe, self-care, and get a good night's sleep with her children.
No gift is too small. Every gift will be appreciated. No part of your gift will ever be used to pay for any ministry expenses or staffing needs. One hundred percent (100%) of your gift will go toward paying for a hotel/motel room for a homeless constituent to shelter.
I want to thank you from the deepest part of my being, for caring. Thank you❤.
If you know of a homeless man, woman, or family that needs assistance, please write our number (404-407-0213) on a piece of paper and we will connect our constituent with housing programs, local food pantries, clothing closets, soup kitchens, and other homeless services. If he/she is being denied services they are eligible for, we will advocate on their behalf - free of charge.
The need is great. Tell The World Ministries needs volunteers and interns to work as Housing Navigators, Domestic Violence Advocates, Homeless Outreach Workers, and Client Transporters. We have Community Service opportunities for released offenders on probation.
I thank you and truly appreciate you for reading my plea to the last line. May GOD bless you. Amen
