Awesome
Thanks all for your suggestions. Please keep them coming if you have any more ideas because some places have space limitations so I think I can only give them 5-7 cases of 12 at a time.
By the way Vera87 do you happen to give guitar lessons? You are my guitar hero. Thanks for the idea of Covenant House.
I truly believe younger kids need a second chance in life because they are currently lost in their path. It's not so much important what we have when we get there, it's how we got there and what we've learned. These kids deserve choices, they need some options to choose which door to open. Unfortunately most kids do not see their own potential and have already developed low self-esteem so they think they are a burden to society. Think of squeegee/ street intersection kids and how we treat them in our city. We give them tickets, we put up our window(c'mon folks admit it), we look away, we can do whatever we want but the bottom line is that they are still there and will never go away unless we educate/help them and more importantly ourselves. Yes, they may be annoying when we say "no" and they wipe our windsheild anyway but we need to know why anyone would do that, is it just to piss people off? No, it's because they are hungry. How do you feel when you are hungry, I mean starving? Sometimes grumpy, disoriented, confused, angry? Now what if that happened everyday and you're on the streets?
Sorry for the speech. I am only 30 but my psychic told me I am going to be a spiritual enlightenment speaker/councillor before my prime, so I thought I'll get a head start. Oh by the way, I use to live in the attic of a broken down house at Kensington Market and asked for clothing and food every month at the Scott Mission at Spadina/College when I was younger but I was given another chance as a kid growing up. Now I have a catering business and finished University with a Business Degree.
