I just read the article in People magazine, and I think what you all are doing is just absolutely great. I haven't ever really been homeless, b/c luckily I had a loving family to fall back on, but I was addicted to meth for 11 years, and it is really hard to put yourself back into just the reality of life, and I feel I was saved from that life. Please keep up the great and grateful work that you do for these men.
Hi I just read the article in People Magazine and I think you're doing a great job. I cannot imaged what being homeless is and how much they are going through emotionally and mentally. You are doing a great job and keep it up, I'm glad they are people like you in this world that are willing to help others like that, to get them back on track and help them out.
Thank you all for the words of encouragement They mean a lot. An important message to our participants is that people out there want them to succeed. Too often they get the opposite message. Please keep in touch, join our facebook group or email me to be included on our newsletter. Best, Lawrence

Francisca, it is truly amazing how a ball, especially a soccer ball, connects people. Thank you for your words of encouragement. Lot's of people all over are getting involved. I wonder what area of the country you are in. Shoot me an email or ask me on the blog and i'll connect you to street soccer in your area. best, Lawrence
Great! My son was homeless for the last few years of his life. The disease of addiction took him into this reality. I always knew how to find him and we kept in touch even living 2500 miles apart. Visiting, taking him to get food, warm clothing, I watched people watching him. He shared some very sad realities - he wasn't bitter. Taught my husband and I a lot;His life and subsequent death at 35 keep teaching us.
Long before Jim ended up on the streets, we have supported as many efforts dealing with this disease as possible. We are glad to support your efforts as well. Bless your efforts and bless all who are drawn to it. May the light of hope shine on all who suffer this disease. And on you for making a difference. Jim's Mom
