YOU have GOT to see this website...

I have some good friends that live in Houston {Katy}, TX and have gotten this site below up and running. It is really a cool idea. I can't believe the response they have received to all this in such a short amount of time. I love how the good of one person and in this case two people can have such an impact on people all over the world. They have had hits from over 80 different countries and are able to put $100 a day in a bank account for him made only for a trustee to to have access to when he is clean and off the streets. He has an offer in Oregon to go to a Rehab and get clean for 6 weeks-just from the website that the Dolans have created. For right now, it is the city of Houston, and in a few days it will be the country of the United States, that is getting the recognition for being a kind, caring, and out of the box kind 0f people that they are. I love the fact that in just a short 11 days the Dolan's have figured out how to help a man who on Feb. 9th had no hope at all. In fact, I'm sure he thought that life as he knew it was going to be living under a freeway sign and panhandling for his day to day food and lifeline. I don't think that he ever thought 2 intelligent human beings would ever approach him and ask him if they could try something that might change his life forever-and change it for the good!


Tim, a homeless, helpless man had given up hope of ever getting off the streets of Houston, TX. It has been 5 long years and was just waiting for the break he needed to make it again someday. Then two nobodys: Sean and Kevin Dolan, took to the streets and found Tim. They made a difference in just one person's life. Doesn't the saying go something like this: "How think ye? If a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray?" And then I think it even says: "And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray." matt 18:12-13. 
I am not by any means a scriptorian and absolutely not trying to chastize anyone-but I just wonder what a difference this one small act of kindness can make to our world. Especially, in such trying times as this...I am proud to say that I know this fabulous family and only hope that this one sheep turns into a hundred and the hundred turns into a million. It would be such a cool reprieve to see the world catch on to this concept and just try it-in their hometowns. It would be relatable to Oprah's pay it forward, one act of kindness movement she caused a few years back. It caught on like wildfire and is now being filmed and talked about all over the globe.
I just have to let them know how awesome I think all of this is. They are being interviewed by News Stations all over Houston and on Monday morning will be on the Fox & Friends news show. If you don't get to read this before then-which I don't think you will, you could probably go online and see it there. They are also going to be on the Rachel Ray show this week. Just letting everyone know there is a new way of being kind, a new road to healing, and a way to make a BIG difference in the life of someone who thought they would never be noticed. Go go go!!!
They are really getting good responses for the most part. Just as an update: the Monday Fox news was just a quick minute and a half but was really well done. The Rachel Ray show will be just a blurb about them and Jeff Foxworthy joking about it....make a difference pass this site on to whom ever you know and help make a difference today.
