how to help homeless children in Atlanta with school supplies
This summer due to the economy there will be more homeless people than ever. Due to all the foreclosures; due to higher gas prices and due to much more spousal abuse there will be more families hitting the streets to live than ever. The face of the homeless is changing from the addictive man to the broken family unit - going from the unshaven wino to the single desperate mom trying to keep her children safe until she can figure it out. These children's only hope and future depends on them staying in scool and getting an education. So this summer how can you help the rising number of homeless children? Childrens Restoration Network is sponsoring a huge drive to help 5000 homelss children in Atlanta. Not only do they hope to provide the necessary back packs and school supplies but they will also provide free medical treatment; necessary vaccinations and free haircuts.
