      <description>Everyone needs encouragement. Help inspire those who need some. As a continuation of our &#39;Sincerely Homeless&#39; campaign, where we featured people who are struggling to get their lives back on track, how they got to where they are today, and what changes they are making in rebuilding their lives, we invite YOU to write messages of hope. Let our homeless know you&#39;re rooting for them and believe in their transformation.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Candi,
I was encouraged to read of your progress in the program and continued sobriety.  I too struggled with drugs for many years ( more than half my life) but by the grace of God and help from other brothers and sisters in Christ I am now clean for almost 5 years.  Keep your eyes on Jesus and seek first His kingdom and He will provide all the necessities of life.    </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Mama Cat Bienvenu</p><p>I believe that each and every one of us are the same.&nbsp; Different in so many ways, but in the eyes of God, we are truly the same.&nbsp; Every day is a struggle and test of our Faith and for some, life is so much harder than for others.&nbsp; I promise Jesus every moment of every day that I WILL CARRY THE CROSS, no matter how heavy it may be.&nbsp; I PROMISE GOD THAT I WILL HELP ANYONE AND EVERYONE "CARRY THEIR CROSS" in any way that I can.&nbsp; I believe that that is the reason God put me on this Earth and for this, I am blessed.&nbsp; If anyone needs to talk, needs a shoulder, needs a hand up, or just to know that you are not alone, WRITE TO ME AND I WILL LISTEN.&nbsp; It is not what you have that defines you.&nbsp; Its is what you do for others that makes you the person that you are in the eyes of our Lord.&nbsp; For that, my dear friends, we are all blessed.&nbsp; We come into this life naked with nothing and we leave this life naked with nothing.&nbsp; My dream is to leave this life with the knowledge that I was kind, loving, caring and respectful of all people as possessions or the lack thereof mean absolutely nothing to me.&nbsp; I am here for anyone and I am here for everyone.&nbsp; Remember, we are all different, yet we are ALL THE SAME.&nbsp; I LOVE YOU AND I WILL HOLD YOUR HAND AND HELP YOU CARRY THE CROSS.&nbsp; In Jesus Name, we pray.&nbsp; NEVER GIVE UP, JESUS DIDN'T............FIGHT AND HE AND I WILL BE WITH YOU.&nbsp; Love, Cat</p>]]></description>
