The trick is to CARE about everyONE while not caring what they think - author unknown - I have noticed in my commitment to help others there have been many ups ...and downs. I try to do my best to stay neutral, using negativity as a catalyst to do better and be better. I try to educate myself so I can responsibly serve our vulnerable siSTARS and brothers. Creating Granddad Cares In memory of my Dad has been a real eye opener. Before he passed it was important for him to know if he had made a difference in others lives. I have seen first hand the POWER OF COMMUNITY and I have seen first hand the resistance from people in power. Why? Is it ego? Due process? No funding? No time? Have we become so detached from the fact we are all ONE human race? Yes, as with all groups and political organizations I have met good apples and bad apples. To all my good apples, you know who you are I LOVE YOU! I am grateful for you! To all my bad apples I LOVE YOU! I thank you for your resistance as it makes me stronger. Today and everyday moving forward, in my Dads memory, for our children, our children's children our siSTARS and brothers I WILL NOT BACK DOWN! We are all deserving of love, compassion, food in our bellies, shelter, accessible resources. PLEASE take a moment to think about how you can help. I BElieve we are ONE. I BElieve we can make a difference. I have seen it! The time is now, reach out, take action, love one another. When it's all said and done stand true in that place where you can honestly say I MADE A DIFFERENCE! GrandDad Cares would love to hear from you. You are BEautiful You are LOVEd. See more
