You Don't Have to Go Around the World to Help Those in Need

Today was a tough day.  God presented me with an 18 year old boy that I can't seem to get out of my mind.  I want to help him, but I don't know how.  How do you help an 18 year old boy, whose mother has lost her job and house, that the system sees as an adult, and that the school system has given up on.  The boy is homeless, split up from his family, and doesn't have the credits to graduate this year.  When everything seems to be going wrong, he just can't catch a break.  I've called shelters and friends to explore options, but I'm not sure that he or his family will fall into any "category" that qualifies for help.  Please pray for him and his family.  I will continue to work for him and try to get his mother back on her feet.  There are so many needs right here in our own back yard!
