We Need More People Like Paul

IMG_0913Candace was in an abusive relationship and had the courage to stand up for change. Of course, that meant leaving the support she knew. But it was much better than the environment her children were in. If you haven’t heard  Candace’s story please click on the photo to the right.

Today it’s easy to look at a social crisis like homelessness and say it’s too hard to solve. Or we feel that only giant nonprofits can make any kind of difference. Both those beliefs are wrong. You can make a difference. Just be like Paul and start taking action.

Paul Kruse is a real hero. He is a Vietnam vet that believes everyone should have a home. He simply could not allow a homeless man to sleep in the woods a few years back. It really is that simple. Just taking tangible action to help someone. Today, Paul runs First Step Back Home helping homeless families get back on their feet.
