3 Compassionate Steps to Eliminating Homelessness
2023-07-25 19:00 - 20:30 | Stage Door Dance Productions, 2720 Godley Lane, #101, Raleigh, 27617
Follow this link to reserve your spot to attend this unique presentation on Tuesday, July 25 at 7p:

https://www.eventbrite.com/e/3-compassionate-steps-to-eliminating-homelessness-tickets-680258129377

Do you believe in the infinite and intrinsic value of all people? That means every person comes into the world full of great worth and NOTHING in their life changes that. If you do, then eliminating homelessness should not be as big of a challenge as society makes it out to be.
In this spotlight, Kara Lynn Sanders (affectionately known as Momma Kai) will share 3 Compassionate Steps to Eliminating Homelessness. It is part of a 3x3x3 outline that also addresses 3 barriers to implementing the steps and 3 steps to get started. These are the introduction to a feasible master blueprint to eliminate homelessness locally, then globally.
Having been without stable housing for the last 4 years, she provides unique insight from the perspective of “living the experience”, present tense. She will share some personal stories including why she recently chose to live in a car with her son, why she’s not gainfully employed with all the knowledge she has and why it’s always another amazing day in paradise 🤩. Then she will issue a call to action.
She is a woman with a prayer and a plan. She started with a dream,
devised a scheme,
is now seeking a team,
who aren’t afraid to be extreme,
will dismantle the regime
and deliver esteem
to make others beam.
If you are committed, compassionate and crazy* about changing the world, you’ll make this event a priority to attend.
*Please note: This is the type of “crazy” she means, “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs
If you’re another kind of crazy, you are invited too 🤪 only if you’re ready to work 😁!
