I don't remember this man's name, and he doesn't remember my name, or even me at all. What I remember is that last year, I gave this man one of my kits from Photography to Combat Homelessness! He got a blanket, some socks, sandals, and some dinner. This particular man had been too far separated from society for so long that he basically had no connection to the world. His loneliness made him insane. That doesn't matter, though, because someone bought a calendar, and the funds went to buy him this blanket that he still uses to keep himself warm.
I'm looking for volunteers this year, along with donations. The more blankets, backpacks, sandals, gloves and socks get donated, the more food each calendar can buy!
