To Whom It May Concern :

It has been our dream to be able to have a full service shelter since 2007. We would also be able to teach computer repair and building and also the most common software's that you need this day and time to get a job pumping Gas we have never had a donation because I really just do not like to ask for money from people or foundations.

I would however fill out for the grants if I knew how to, I am not to proud to except money for our cause, so if anyone out there who would like to donate grant writing skills at least till we could get a grant it would be appreciated. I have no doubt in my mind that our system of rehab will work for the most part because I will not waste time on any one who is not sincere about wanting a normal life back, Do not get me wrong I will still do every thing possible for the ELDERLY or the ILL to get them the help they need. Also the program I want to run will be rebuilding many of the older computers for work stations for businesses that need them and the ones that can never be used again will be disposed of according to EPA standards of disposal.

So it would also fall into the category of being a very Green Business, There are many things involved in running a shelter such as kitchen and cooking skills and hotel and motel type experience along with management experience that we can offer to men and women clients and I know enough people with businesses in the 4 county area to place many of them in jobs and of course we would work with mental health and other social services to make sure they are healthy and sober by the time they leave us.

I want so much to get this shelter that I am attending school right now for non profit business courses to do a more effective job of running it. Running this business like I am proposing will bring money back into the shelter also by us doing supervised computer repairs and sales of the computers we manufacture while we are teaching, I am already a computer tech myself so I already know how to teach these courses. If things work out and we get a large enough kitchen it would be great to be able to have a meals on wheels type program for the elderly around here, it is a wonderful program because it also gives the delivery person a few minutes to be able to check on the welfare of the persons and be able to see what there needs maybe, also if they are in danger or sick we can emergency personnel.

There are many aspects to this business that are very beneficial to this area, Our main goal is to reenter these people back to living a productive life for them and the community, when children come from a productive normal family the chances of them becoming productive citizens increases dramatically. Our ministry even now makes sure to take the time to spot underage people or anyone that may have come from an abusive situation, and we always take special care to the needs of the elderly. I hope that someone out there will see the potential in our ministry and feels the need to help us continue to do our work effectively.

Since January 1^st of this year we have placed 32 people into shelters and other safe warm places, we have give away 62 coats and even more blankets, 4 of the people were teens and 2 of those were females, we paid the rent for one family and bought food for another family and now we are getting organized to rebuild a house that burned just last week for a family where the man only has one leg and he has to mentally challenged children yet he works and takes care of his family, every thing we do comes out of our pockets as of now we have been doing this since 2007 and again we have never received a monetary donation or a grant, if anyone out there is willing to help us apply for a grant it would be wonderful, we are not rich people either all of us are working class people and some of us are even disable so if you want to help it would be great we are almost at the end of our resources. God has always made a way for us to do what we do and we all praise him daily. So PRAISE GOD. Also we respect the federal laws and don't force or insist that people are religious to get our help. I have many people and ways to prove what we do and provide references. The house we are about to work on now a Senator called and brought it to our attention.

Thank You and God Bless
