My heart is filled with gratitude that I have a roof over my head, food on my table and good clothes to wear in these trying times but I am aware that not everyone is as fortunate as me
I have a dream that through my garage sale I will be able to raise funds and collect 1,000 sanitizer kits and food cans for the homeless living on the streets of New York. I was inspired to help the homeless when I recently travelled by the Staten Island Ferry to Manhattan and was shocked to find the homeless lying around helplessly in subways and parks.
My conscious pricked me and felt that I could not remain silent and watch the news on the television about thousands dying due to corona virus globally. I felt I have to do something to help the helpless homeless people on the streets who have no money or support system.
I wish that I manage to raise funds through my go fund me so that my their team members and I can assemble kits comprising of hand sanitizers, antibacterial soaps, lotions, reusable masks, food cans and juices for free distribution to the homeless to protect them from the deadly Corona virus.
The homeless people cannot afford to buy basic necessities in order to protect themselves from this deadly virus.
The people most forgotten during these crises are the homeless population. Everyone is worried about the safety of their families. People are in a panic frenzy and stocking their houses with food, toilet papers leaving the shelves in the stores empty. Many food pantries have closed down in New York and the poor are left with no food while the rich have hoarded their garages and houses with food.
Having set the ball rolling, I now hope that more people will volunteer and come forward to save lives of homeless people.
