SocioHolistic Los Angeles hasn't added a story.
Hello All,
For those who have lived in LA or any other major city,
you know exactly what it is like to pass someone who is
homeless on the street. For me, it's a hard thing to do daily.
Everyday, the streets of Los Angeles are filled with homeless
men,women and children they eat there, sleep there, and shower
there (yep with rain water). Sometimes I hand out hellos and
good mornings, sometimes I hand out bananas or just sit and
listen. I wish I could do more. Ive done more and more
throughout the summer together with friends and family but I
really want to make a difference this winter.
My plan:
I want to hand out winter Homeless Survival Kits
throughout Novvember and December to all of the Homeless Men,
Women and Children throughout Los Angeles. The kit will
include: socks, lip balm, deodorant, wet wipes, toothpaste,
toothbrush, mouthwash, soap, Vaseline/lotion, hand sanitizer,
brush/comb, water bottle, feminine products, rain poncho,
energy bar/trail mix along with heat pads, winter gear, and
food/shelter gift certificates. I want to hand out about 100
kits or more.
Please Donate and Help Save Lives this Winter.

Ps. Feel free to forward this along, just because you're
not in LA doesn't mean you can't donate to help someone else
out. Pay it forward.

Mental illnesses are serious medical illnesses. They cannot be overcome through "will power" and are not related to a person's "character" or intelligence. The National Institute of Mental Health reports that One in four adults-approximately 57.7 million Americans-experience a mental health disorder in a given year.Los Angeles city and county have the most chronically homeless people in the country, and nearly all of them sleep on the streets, according to figures released Thursday by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department.L.A.'s chronically homeless population has grown 55%, to 12,536, since 2013, accounting for almost 15% of all people in that category, HUD reported. More than one-third of the nation's chronically homeless live in California, the agency added.
According to multiple studies examining the causes of homelessness, among mothers with children experiencing homelessness, more than 80% had previously experienced domestic violence.Between 22 and 57% of all homeless women report that domestic violence was the immediate cause of their homelessness. Approximately one homeless woman in four is homeless mainly because of her experiences with violence. Homeless women are far more likely to experience violence of all sorts than American women in general, by differentials ranging from two to four depending on the specific type of violence in question.
One of the major causes of homelessness for children in the U.S. includes experiences of trauma, especially domestic violence, by their mothers and/or by the children themselves; trauma frequently precedes and prolongs homelessness for children and families.
We have a long history of volunteer work as a group and help those in need personally and professionally.
We are going to save lives this winter and change lives forever but we need your help! 83,170 individuals, or 15% of the homeless population, have a disability and has experienced homelessness for a year or longer, or has a disability and has experienced at least four episodes of homelessness in the last three years. These are the homeless who fall through the cracks in the shelter system and end up dying during the winter.
