OMG MISSION
We at OMG are preparing for the winter to reach out and touch lives here in the Louisville area. We are still collecting blankets for the Lost Sheep homeless. If you have any blankets or backpacks, even socks or coats will be a blessing to someone.
No one likes to hear about the homeless or anyone that is in need nor the drug addicted because it is so hard to understand how anyone can end up like that.
In this society today, it is quite easy to end up in the same situation for anyone, not just those who are there now. With the rising cost of living and no rise in anyone's pay, it becomes a challenge to survive in this jungle.
Just looking at the stats for living, the costs of living has drove up the quality of life to survive tremendously, so that you almost have to work two or three jobs and that includes all members of your immediate family/household. You, for sure need a place to live rather it's to rent or pay a mortgage and that is no joke. Once you pass that hurdle of finding a place you most certainly need or have to have a job or some form of income coming in to pay just your rent. The utilities are another part of the spectrum because you need lights and water to function each day. There might be programs that will help those who are at a disadvantage to find housing but there is a long waiting list.
Food and transportation is another part of productive living. To communicate you need some form of gadgets to do that such as a cell phone or landline. Speaking of food, the cost has went up and it seems like the quality has gone done. Food is not the same from back in the day. So many recalls and chances on becoming sick is greater now then ever.
like the sign hanging and saying, "dwell on what is real and not the surface, on the fruit and not the flower"!
The realness is that we could be in those shoes but are fortunate to be able to maintain and be stable. So we believe in reaching out and touching lives in a positive way, in not only giving to those less fortunate material things, but that spirit of truth to know that they are endowed with that same quality of living as we are, just by changing some things about themselves and going for what they know and using the help they get. No matter what it is just to better their lives. When we talk with people that are homeless or someone who is addicted to drugs or some form of addiction that has held them back, we stress from our hearts that "The Best Gift Is themselves!"
We encourage all on both sides of the fences to seek out less fortunate people to lend a hand and those who are without at the moment to put your best foot forwarded and seek a better way of life through all the help that is available to you!
OMG team is working to meet up with some homeless people to talk with them and find out what it is that we can do to help them overcome and get back on their feet in life.
