My brother died 2 years ago (age 44) from alcoholism after living on the streets for 25 years. My family tried everything to get him off the streets but he just felt more needed by those who were on the streets. I've always felt that the homeless just need to feel successful at something and this is a great idea. My brother struggled in school and finally dropped out in 10th grade and as my son struggles at the same age I am doing everything I can to make sure he has success (including homeschooling him this year) so that he won't follow the same path (he is doing great and I discovered he is very smart!). But all I can see is all these other kids who need this same encouragement (plus help with school) and I try and help them too but there are too many. All I can say is bravo to these wonderful people who have helped these homeless people in so many ways!!!!
