HAPPY...REALLY HAPPY NEWS....

By Debbie Bulloch




Sometimes there is not much good news to report.

Today, however, is a different day. Bessie, the 97-year old homeless woman has found a home!!!

Hooray for Bessie...hooray for the good guys!

From today's edition of the Los Angeles Times:

A 97-year-old homeless woman who was living with her two sons in a battered 1973 Chevrolet Suburban in Venice has received a temporary home, compliments of a nonprofit Los Angeles housing group.

Bessie Mae Berger and sons Larry Wilkerson, 60, and Charlie Wilkerson, 62, had parked nightly on Venice Boulevard after losing their home in Palm Springs and failing to find a place to stay in Northern California.

But a Times story Friday that detailed her plight prompted authorities from the city, the county and the state to step up efforts to assist the trio and led the Integrated Recovery Network to offer them immediate shelter.

All's well that ends well.

I am so happy for Bessie and her two sons. We can't stop here though. I look forward to a day where there are no more wars, no more homeless and no more hunger.

There is a solution , very simple solution ! Listen to that
You just have to vote for me to be the president of the world ! Don't think of it, just dream of it, believe it and it will be possible !
And together we will be able to say

SL is a community and if each of us in his or her country does just a little, it will change ! yes that will change and tell close to you tell to your friends, your familys what they can do , simply things and it will change ! hehehehe
