We are ALL family. Every One of us…

You. 

Me. 

Them.

We may not know each other, and we may never meet. We all come from different spots in this life. But we all share a few commonalities. We all have basic needs. And we all need love and hope. 

And sometimes we need a little extra support.

“It’s a hurtin’ world,” as they say.

We (that’s all of us) can share a little of ourselves to our fellow man. To our family, to our friends. And to those we see, but don’t know.

Hope Outpouring grew out of two people meeting. Those two people are Ben Watts, and me, Craig Alea. Drastically different upbringings. Different generations. Different paths were taken by both of us. 

And yet we met. And we bonded a friendship. And we decided together to help those that are down on their luck. Those that are struggling with different issues and situations that have led them to living outside. Ben lives outside. Ben is “homeless.” And Ben has the biggest heart to help those in the same situation as himself. 

Me…? I have a house. I’m “inside” as they say on the street. I’ve never been homeless. But now I see so many friends that have nowhere to be, and a lot of times they have nowhere to go. Big difference. Murfreesboro is working on solutions to both of those dilemmas, and you can contact me to learn more about that. Long range solutions…

Hope Outpouring is focused on today… Right now…

The cold.

The hungry.

The hurting.

The sad.

And the hopeless.

This is where you can help…

A smile is free. Kindness doesn’t cost a thing. Respecting dignity isn’t that difficult. That’s all we would ask of you at at Hope Outpouring.

Truly.  It does make a difference… 

    

Thank you for that.

Craig
