The face of homelessness through teenage eyes

Hello, folks, your own Coach Scotten here again. Today's lesson is one that sounds more like it comes out of a dictionary, but have you thought about the meaning of "homelessness"? Not the image that comes into your mind - the actual definition. Being "homeless" means being "without a home" which is much more than being without a house.

I've been keeping a list of examples of people I have come across over the years who are without  someplace to call home. Click here for one of the articles that I saw in this past weekend's Indy Star which really illustrate my point - teenagers writing about other teens who are without a place to call home.

When you read this, do you feel called to action? What can you do to help those who have no place to call home? Could you:
  • Repost this link?
  • Volunteer your time or become a mentor?
  • Make a donation, once or with every business transaction?

Make your choice, but make it knowing that you will help someone find much more than a house - a place to call home - and do your part in "linking hope to homeless."
