Volunteers can touch people with their humanity. Heart touches heart,
touch brings solace, kindness, cheer and acknowledgment. And the world needs more
acknowledgment.

"I was noticed and pulled
back up to a place where I could be proud again. Through the efforts of a few people, I
was able to get together enough resources to get off the streets. These people gave from
their hearts unconditionally, donating their time and money. Along with the many others
that donated to me each day, I could now stand tall again. I could tell from the look in
their eyes that they wanted to do more, but just didnt know where to begin."

Hello! I am the author of the book, Have a Great One! A Homeless
Man's Story. My friendship with J.C., a homeless man in New York City,
resulted in the writing of this book. I realized how important "individual
advocacy" is for persons who have given up on themselves.
I am still good friends with J.C., and he says I'm his best friend! What an
honor to have earned his trust and respect!
