Within the past month, my son called from college with the news his ex-roommate and friend, who withdrew from school last semester due to illness, had tried to commit suicide. His friend had hoped to be going to live with his father, whom he’d never really gotten to know, but dear ole’ dad said he didn’t want him. His friend’s mom had remarried long ago and when she had more children, she cast this son aside. My son recognized someone who’d never had any nurturing or support from parents or family, so of course, I was called in. His friend had read some of my writings, so I did a “reading” for his friend but the timing was off. His friend tried to commit suicide before getting a chance to receive what I could extend.
My son, having graduated, is coming home and is friend is coming with him.
My daughter called from school today. High school. She’s a sophomore. My daughter had witnessed the problems going on in her friends household and had already asked me if there was anything she could do to help her friend. She was worried her friend was close to suicidal. Well…last night her friend’s mother kicked her child out of the house. She spent the night at a teenage hospice but spent most of the time walking around in the rain. Her mother told her she had 1 week to find someplace else to live, that was all the time her mother gave her. Needless to say, her friend is coming home with her to my house.
I see these kids are our future. They need help desperately but there is no place within our system for them to turn for help. I’m not going to let them fall through the cracks in our society if I can help it.
Quite simply, I’m asking for help in taking care of these kids. I am asking for donations. Anything, no matter how small, 5 cents, 10 cents, a quarter, ANYTHING would help me help these kids.
There is a donation button on my main website: www.hera-kles.com set up for Paypal. If you’re not comfortable with Paypal, then here is my address:

You are making love a verb. I will be back tomorrow to make a contribution. You are love and love is you.

This is a very touching story. Everyone is reminded to reflect on their common humanity and open their hearts to do what feels right to make a difference in the lives of others. Everyone is chosen, but not everyone chooses to hear the call. Showing compassion without judgment is a timeless gesture. It allows the heart centre to reveal one’s true colors. Love is the answer. To see and feel everything as a message about love or a wake up call to love, is how we consciously transform the world.

Wish I could help financially, but am on disability with my son just entering college under a VA-sponsored mini-GI bill.
He too has friends that had to leave their home when mom was kicked out and is now living with her boyfriend. One fellow is a senior living with his girlfriend, and the other is younger, who might be staying with his dad, who lived someplace else.
Other friends of his have been kicked out. How can parents do that? I’d get therapy for individual family members before taking any such action and resort to “tough love” if need be for any kid that needs more structure in their lives.
Even a dysfunctional family is better than no family at all. I made it, despite yelling and screaming at my house. I think many of my friends could say the same. I guess the Baby Boomers had more sense than the media has given us credit for.
Good luck.

Blessings, Sue Anne.
What a heart wrenching story. You are BLESSED to be able to extend help to those who are less fortunate than yourself. You are a BLESSING to be extending your time, resources and love to these kids. Do you still help to maintain these children, and what is going on now? Let me know.
PLL,

I agree with Mark
I am thankful your love exists. May it attract more and more love. That’s all our troubled souls really need or want, unless they have chemical imbalances/injuries, which require extra attention. And more love

I am not surprised the Universe tapped upon you and your home and family.
You are all fortunate to grow together.
