Right now, there is a child in the Bulgarian welfare system who is a victim of abuse, neglect, violence, and homelessness. And while the welfare system exists to help, healing is impossible without a loving caregiver.⁠ ⁠ For just $30, you can help a child heal from their trauma by giving them the right person to talk to. Decades of standing up for these precious children have shown us that when caregivers themselves are transformed, trauma is disrupted and healing is possible.⁠ ⁠ Will you make a gift today to help a child who desperately needs it? Your gift is needed by June 11!⁠ ⁠ Because on June 11–12, caregivers will join together in Varna, Bulgaria to hear how trauma impacts every part of a child's life. Your $30 gift will unlock the practical tools caregivers need to help a child heal from their past.⁠ ⁠ $30 is all it takes to help a child in need by providing them with a trained person to talk to, show them they are not alone, and remind them they are worthy of God’s love. Your gift will help give these children the care they deserve.⁠ ⁠ Whatever amount you choose to give will radically help the children God so dearly loves. Click the link in our bio to make your gift before June 11.

Trauma impacts every part of a child's life. And it follows them long after they grow up. ⁠ ⁠ Thankfully, decades of work as child advocates and trauma disruptors have revealed that when caregivers heal, the children in their care can heal too. ⁠ ⁠ That is why we continually partner with local leaders to train caregivers in trauma-informed care. So they can receive the knowledge they need to see vulnerable children in a new way and gain the practical tools that will help children heal from their past.⁠ ⁠ Most recently, one of our in-country program officers, Sarah, was a guest speaker at a trauma-informed conference in the Philippines that trained more than 100 social workers, caregivers, and other childcare professionals. ⁠ ⁠ It is our prayer that the Holy Spirit will continue to transform the hearts and minds of caregivers as a result of the new knowledge they have. And as they heal, that they will better serve and help create a different future for the children in their care. ⁠ ⁠ No matter where the Lord leads us, we will continue to diligently share the life-changing work of trauma-informed care believing all of God's children deserve to experience healing today.

Thank you, sponsors—you made this possible!⁠ ⁠ After his father passed away, Abrham* assumed he would have to drop out of school and begin working to help provide for his single mother and three siblings. ⁠ ⁠ Fearful he would never graduate, Abrham prayed God would intervene. Abrham is not alone in this fear. This is the case for far too many children in Ethiopia. ⁠ ⁠ Thankfully, God answered Abrham's prayers through someone like you! No longer worried about his school fees, Abrham has continued to advance in school year after year! ⁠ ⁠ Because of his sponsor's faithful giving, Abrham is receiving life-changing support and continues to get closer to achieving his dream of becoming a teacher.⁠ ⁠ God desires for all His children to have their needs met, and through sponsorship, you can be the vessel God uses to meet those needs!⁠ ⁠ Would you consider sponsoring a child right now, so they too can remain in the care of their family and have the opportunities Abrham has? With your help, a child in Ethiopia can break through their past trauma and unlock new possibilities for their future.⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio to sponsor a child today!⁠ ⁠ *Name and photo changed to protect privacy.

With our regular field team depleted due to illness and planned trips. I reached out to Dan and asked him to see if some of his friends could pinch hit today, and I wasn't disappointed. These guys were an incredible blessing to not only HSH, but our friends as well. We couldn't have done what we did today without them. Thank you, guys. Please come and join us again whenever you can. You touched more lives in a positive way today than you know. And as a final note, all these young men are in the real estate business, so give them a follow.

Zemenay dreams of becoming a doctor—Do you remember what you wanted to be when you grew up? As kids, the possibilities seem endless: a doctor, a lawyer, an artist. ⁠ ⁠ But for Zemenay, her dreams may never come to fruition as her mom can't afford to send her to school. Sadly, Zemenay doesn't have much longer before she's forced to drop out to support her family, putting not only her education but her dreams and her entire future at risk. ⁠ ⁠ Without access to an education and family-strengthening resources, the cycle of generational poverty, homelessness, and even abuse is repeated in the lives of children like Zemenay. ⁠ ⁠ For $40 a month, you can unlock new possibilities for Zemenay's future and help make her dream a reality 🥼🩺 Click the link in our bio to learn more and sponsor Zemenay or another child today!

A “big SAL” Story - Tuesday 14/5/2024 - With the weather changing peoples needs are changing. We are meeting new people every week that are choosing to access our services for essential items. People are more comfortable and feel dignified when we say they are able to choose what they want to take. We have always had a help yourself service because WE (THE !N CROWD) do not want to hold the power to decide what you eat, what clothes you wear and how to best care for your hygiene. We will encourage and promote healthy choices but will never ultimately decide for you. From kids as young as 4 to the elderly in their 70s we provide a service that is accessible to all. - We had a young child hop on the bus with her mum and we allowed her to sit in the drivers seat and pretend to drive the bus while her mum got what they needed. Many thanks from a grateful mother to know she can provide the needs for her household with some assistance from her friends at THE !N CROWD. - 35kg meat 40kg groceries 30kg fruit & veg 12kg bread Hygiene Winter goods - #unhoused #unhousedneighbors #friendsoftheincrowd #friends #community #thoseinneed #helpingout #lendingahand #handupnothandout #sunshinecoast #theincrowd #bigsal

The voicemail was short, "Hey Steven, this is Frank. Give me a callback please". Now, before I tell you the rest of the story, the picture you see is the very first time we met Frank. It was December 15, 2015 (he had already been on the streets for over a year), and we've been enjoying our friendship with him ever since. He's never asked for much and it's rare, very rare, that he's not in a good mood. He is always respectful and full of gratitude, and he never complains. And...he loves his dogs!!! Now, back to the phone call. When I returned his call, I was hoping everything was okay because we never know when they leave a short message without any detail if it's good or bad news. I'm glad to say it wasn't bad news. Frank, after 10 years on the streets, is homeless no more! I wish you could have seen the smile on my face and the tears of joy welling up in my eyes. The first thing I asked was if he needed anything and he said, 'That's the second reason I called you. If you could find me a washer that doesn't cost too much I could really use one. The laundromat is really expensive." I then asked how he was going to dry his clothes. He responded, "I can hang them up in my bathroom." That's when I said, "Would you like to have a washer and dryer, and they wouldn't cost you a thing?" For a moment, he was speechless, and then I heard, "Are you kidding?" I replied, "No, I'm not. We have a set in our warehouse." To say he was happy would be an understatement. He was thrilled! So, we will soon be delivering them, and I can't wait to see his new home and celebrate with him; as he put it, "I'm no longer homeless!" We are so happy for and so proud of you my friend!!! This is why we never give up! #BoomBetterWorld #handupnothandout #theydomatter #love #hope #compassion #understanding #ifnotusthenwho #ifnotnowwhen #endhomelessness #ourstreetstheirhome #beinghomelesssucks If you would like to help us continue to provide for our friends, you can do so via VENMO at @ homestreethome or by clicking the link in our profile and tapping DONATE!

Scott had moved to Gallatin for a job, and at first, everything was going well. The job was good, and the pay was even better. Then Scott started running with the wrong crowd, and it wasn't long before partying became more important than work. He lost his job, and the spiral began. That’s when he woke up one day broke, not able to find work, and being evicted from his apartment. He crashed with friends for a while, but that didn't last long & the next thing he knew, he found himself on the streets. The party was over. That’s when desperation set in, and finally, Scott knew he had to do something. Things had to change, and so did he! Someone suggested he reach out to us, and he did. After a few conversations, we decided to put him on a bus heading home and a very thankful and excited big sister was waiting for him. Before we said goodbye, we had a long talk, and he knows he's been given a second chance, one that many don't get, and he understands how blessed he is. #BoomBetterWorld #handupnothandout #theydomatter #love #hope #compassion #understanding #ifnotusthenwho #ifnotnowwhen #endhomelessness #ourstreetstheirhome #beinghomelesssucks If you would like to help us continue to provide for our friends, you can do so via VENMO at @ homestreethome or by clicking the link in our profile and tapping DONATE!

I will turn 68 on the 20th of this month. So, how will I celebrate this milestone? Not with gifts and a party, but a humble, grateful, and very blessed heart. In my opinion, I am the richest man on earth, not materially nor financially, but in ways that can’t be measured in the things one possesses or the amount of money one has. These riches can't be bought. They are truly priceless gifts I did not and/or do not deserve, and I am so thankful I get to enjoy them each and every day. One of those is HSH. I love what I do, what we do, and I plan to continue ministering to and providing for our friends who call the streets of Nashville home for many years to come! But I need your help, as your continued support is crucial to our work. My goal is $6,800.00. One hundred dollars for every year God has given me & with our over 10,000 faithful followers, I know it can be reached. And remember, we have no payroll and very low administrative costs, allowing 93 cents of every dollar given to go directly to providing what they need to survive, heal, and maybe have hope again. Plus, your donation (a birthday gift to me) is 100% tax deductible. How many times was a birthday gift you gave tax deductible? Please consider giving what you can to help us continue our mission. Making this my best birthday ever! You can do so via VENMO at @ homestreethome or by clicking the link in our profile and choosing “Steven’s Big Birthday Wish”. Be Blessed and…as always…much love! ~Steven #stilllivingthebestblessedlife #BoomBetterWorld #handupnothandout #theydomatter #love #hope #compassion #understanding #helpinghand #ifnotusthenwho #ifnotnowwhen #endhomelessness #ourstreetstheirhome

We don’t always get the story, but we always get blessed! I found Ernest asleep under a bridge, with a backpack for a pillow & a slab of rough concrete for a bed. As I approached & gently called out to him, he stirred, rolled over, & glanced up at me. The look of “who are you and what do you want” we so often see in so many we meet, as well as the hesitancy that accompanies it. So, I stretched out my hand, introduced myself, and after a brief moment of indecision, he extended his & said in a voice that detailed his struggles, "My name's Ernest". He told me he stayed at the mission last night to get out of the rain, but he didn’t like going there because he never felt comfortable. I asked him if he had a camp or a place to stay, & he replied he did not. After a few more minutes & a few questions, I realized today wasn't the day I was going to get to hear his story, so I changed the conversation & asked if he needed anything. Again, in that same broken voice, I heard, "A blanket would be nice." I asked if there was anything else he wanted or needed & "No, just a blanket, I could really use a blanket" was his answer. As I handed him the blanket, I could see the tears well up in his eyes, & he hung his head, seemingly ashamed of those tears. I told him it was okay, & I placed my hand on his shoulder hoping it would provide some semblance of understanding & encouragement. As hard as it was to do so, I knew that was all the headway I was going to make, so I gave him my card & an invitation to call anytime, for any reason, & as I said goodbye he gently laid back down, covered up, & whispered: "Thank you and God bless". No, thank you, Ernest. I'll see you again soon. A man who has nothing, asking for so little. Thankful for a simple blanket. We may never know his story, but my life has been forever touched by his presence in it. #BoomBetterWorld #handupnothandout #theydomatter #love #hope #compassion #understanding #ifnotusthenwho #ifnotnowwhen #endhomelessness #ourstreetstheirhome If you would like to help us continue to provide for our friends, you can do so via VENMO at @ homestreethome or by clicking the link in our profile and tapping DONATE!

One of our partners in Colombia recently initiated a collaboration with local schools to educate teachers on the principles of trauma-informed care.⁠ ⁠ Many of the children in these communities have experienced abuse, homelessness, starvation, and more. And often, the child who has experienced the most pain is the same child who "acts out" and "gets in trouble."⁠ ⁠ The last 30+ years of working to disrupt trauma have shown us that deep-seated trauma often presents itself through challenging behaviors. Because of this, we know that the child "causing problems" is not a "bad kid"; they're just hurting. ⁠ ⁠ And they need someone to meet them and care for them wherever they are right now.⁠ ⁠ By equipping and strengthening teachers' ability to see the needs behind the behavior, we are praying God will work through the Holy Spirit to unlock healing from the trauma they've experienced.

Workin' It Wednesday Building Boxes...Bakery treats need bakery boxes 🎂🍰🧁🍪🍩 A bakery box is a very distinct package and a recognizable sight that tells our brains sweet things are coming 😋 At Sugar Plum Bakery Wednesdays are known as Box Day, the day when the "The Box Man" comes with our weekly delivery of fresh, new cases of flat boxes ready to be folded. We require cases and cases of boxes weekly. They arrive flat and need to be "built"...that's a BIG job every week! The Baker's Assistants always eagerly await "Box Day" and "The Box Man" 🤗 They take all the necessary steps to complete the job from accessing priority based on need, to folding, stickering, and organizing supplies. On average our staff folds approximately 4,500 boxes a month, not including holidays. Our customers are Baking A Difference and making dreams happen! When you support Sugar Plum Bakery you are supporting our mission to serve the needs of persons with disabilities through employment, education and training. As well as, promoting the integration of persons with developmental disabilities into society by helping them become independent and evolve into working contributing members of our communities. 💜 #SugarPlumBakeryVB #BakingADifference #Nonprofit #Handupnothandout #employmentserives

Who are our Opportunity International clients?🌍 Our clients are diverse, resilient individuals unites by a common goal: to rise out of poverty and build a better future for themselves and their loved ones. Here's a glimpse into the lives we're improving with a simple #opportunity: 👩‍🌾 Women on the Rise - 97% of our clients are women, many of whom face the challenge of accessing financial services and training. We’re committed to empowering these women, helping them unlock their potential and achieve financial independence. 🕊️ Refugees Finding Hope - Over 20,000 refugees in Uganda have found a partner in us. Escaping conflict, refugees seek peace and opportunities to rebuild. We support them as they make Uganda their new home. 🌱 Farmers Cultivating Success - Rural farmers often lack access to the resources needed to thrive. We're changing that by providing access to finances and training, helping them to grow their businesses and harvest success. 🧑‍🦰 Young Dreamers - In Ghana, young women travel to Accra to work in the kayayei (head porter) business, with hopes of a better life. We're working to provide safer, more sustainable opportunities for these women. 🚀 Inclusive Opportunities Disability doesn't mean inability. Our innovative project aims to ensure the inclusion and economic growth of people living with a disability in Uganda, ensuring no one is left behind.

HIS STORY...HIS REALITY... There are many reasons that cause someone to end up homeless. Jeff moved to the streets after no longer being able to afford his rent and pay his child support. Every day he goes to work, but after he pays his support, bus fare back and forth to work, food, his cell phone (necessary for his job), and the basic necessities he needs. Saving up for and affording a place to live is an impossibility. Sometimes, he even comes up a little short after paying what he owes, and that's when we step in. He will never go hungry, or do without hygiene or his basic needs. Unfortunately, this is an all-too-common situation, and the consequence of being an "IT" city is that each day is becoming more and more unaffordable for those living on a very thin margin. That being said Jeff is never bitter. There's no complaining, no self-pity, just a man doing what he has to do, to do the right thing! And there are more like Jeff than you think. And that’s sad. #BoomBetterWorld #handupnothandout #theydomatter #love #hope #compassion #understanding #helpinghand #ifnotusthenwho #ifnotnowwhen #endhomelessness #ourstreetstheirhome If you would like to help us continue to provide for our friends, you can do so via VENMO at @ homestreethome or by clicking the link in our profile and tapping DONATE!

The Good Friends Impact…we were able to help our first woman in need this week, and it feels incredible! Maria is living in a shelter after fleeing domestic violence and was at risk of losing all her possessions due to not being able to afford the storage unit fee. We stepped in to cover that cost and provide stability while she works to earn more money. Please consider a donation today so that we can continue to help Delaware women and girls in crisis with a pivotal hand-up! #womenhelpingwomen #delawarenonprofit #handupnothandout #youvegotafriend

It's as much about the time we spend with them, if not more, than what we give them that they appreciate. And we feel the same. The fact that we dodged the rain and waited under bridges for it to slow down so we could show up for them and provide for as many as we could despite the weather meant the world to them. And they showed their appreciation in so many different. ways. When we say we love what we do and who we do it for, we mean it. We are so blessed to be a part of their lives and we never take that for granted. #BoomBetterWorld #handupnothandout #theydomatter #love #hope #compassion #understanding #helpinghand #ifnotusthenwho #ifnotnowwhen #endhomelessness #ourstreetstheirhome If you would like to help us continue to provide for our friends, you can do so via VENMO at @ homestreethome or by clicking the link in our profile and tapping DONATE!

These are 18 of our friends. If we look past the tattered, dirty clothing, the unkempt hair, the signs of wear from the ravages of living on the streets, past the pain, the addiction, the preconceptions society has led most to believe, and past our own personal proclivity to pass judgment on others who, for whatever reason, make us uncomfortable and instead look into their eyes, we will see the beautiful creation that God has made. And quite possibly...they will see His love in ours! Food for thought? I hope so! #BoomBetterWorld #handupnothandout #theydomatter #love #hope #compassion #understanding #helpinghand #ifnotusthenwho #ifnotnowwhen #endhomelessness #ourstreetstheirhome If you would like to help us continue to provide for our friends, you can do so via VENMO at @ homestreethome or by clicking the link in our profile and tapping DONATE!
