SOS 2


One of things that supports Family Renew are donations,  and after clean and rearranging I saw my work fall to pieces, because donations replaced the spaces I cleaned. Although I wanted to be mad this time I was not, but I understood that donations are the life of Family Renew. This week started off much like last week, but the difference is that I seem to enjoy the work I was doing. This week I got the opportunity of doing real office things like answering the phone, doing paperwork, and filing out reports. One of the things the shocked me is the amount of paperwork and documentation that is require for each family. The highlight of my week is when one of the little boys tried to get me to eat his nose picking, wait that is not a highlight but it was funny.

Some of the problems that we face as a community is homelessness, and the reason why families become homeless are for many reasons. Two of the most common reasons I think that causes people to be homeless is a lack of knowledge or education. A lot of people have a hard time managing the resources they are given, which makes it hard for individual or families to thrive. Second, is a lack of opportunity for well- paying jobs; the income inequity in this country causes people to be homeless, and when a family can’t make enough money than that is when poverty and homeless becomes destiny.
