A Roof Over Our Heads

Posted by Yvonne J. Rugley on March 12, 2011 at 3:00am

This post is short and sweet and to the point. My son & I are no longer homeless. There is so much more to say on the matter, but because we were homeless, I have fallen behind in things, and must catch-up, delete, add-on, clean-up things, etc., online. I will elaborate on these things later. I just want to let everyone know that we were alright.

Here is one small, request for now.Listen, I recently acquired a "traffic exchange" called "Tuscany Traffic". Which means simply that I am "owner" & "administrator". Please, please, go and check it out. Many of you can advertise your online websites and businesses there. Until later...

Being Homeless

My son and I are now officially homeless. I am sorry. I got the call on my birthday that we had to get out in 30 days. We're moving into a shelter today. I am sorry. I really tried to prevent this from happening. I am so scared. God help us.

A NEW DIRECTION EMERGES FOR ATLANTA HOMELESS

Posted by Belinda U. Vickerson on August 26, 2009 at 9:58pm

Local Non-Profit Launches New Program To Provide Meals And Assistance To Local HomelessAtlanta, GA, August 20, 2009-----In partnership with H.J. Russell Enterprises and Publix Super Markets, the S.O.A.P. Box program will begin feeding the homeless the first Sunday of every month at McDaniels and Peters Street in the historic Castleberry Hill Art District. “Speaking Out Against Poverty” aka S.O.A.P. Box will launch September 6th 2009 from 12 noon to 5pm and will run until December 6th 2009. In addition to meals, the program is slated to provide clothing, toiletries and employment assistance to homeless residents in the Atlanta area. With a goal to eradicate poverty, the program aims to assist those in dire need.There is a new face to Atlanta’s poor and homeless, many of whom have witnessed their circumstances change drastically over the last year. The unemployment rate in Georgia has risen to 10.3%. Foreclosures and high interest mortgages are still plaguing Atlanta residents. On top of their current monthly obligations, many are now faced with increasing property taxes. With fewer resources and options available, Atlanta’s growing population of displaced and homeless need help more than ever.Bruce Marigny, Executive Director and Founder of The Brothers of Better Business, created S.O.A.P. Box to unite the community in an effort to meet the need of Atlanta’s homeless. This program was developed to inspire and empower communities to fight for the impoverished in and around Atlanta. “We are devoted to raising awareness and supporting citizens in taking action locally to end extreme poverty,” said Bruce Marigny. “The key goal is to help people move beyond their need and into becoming self-sufficient members of their community. Through long-term, self-help development programs funded by grants and individual donors, hundreds of people in Atlanta will increase their ability to be self-sufficient by learning and applying new, marketable skills.” In addition to Publix and H.J. Russell Enterprises; former Atlanta Mayor Andrew Young, Atlanta Councilman Ceasar C. Mitchell, and Atlanta Police Chief Richard J. Pennington have dedicated their time and resources to ensure the success of this endeavor.For more information, please contact Belinda Vickerson email: belinda@blackstoneconsultant.com
