Passion Works is an amazing company that helps our LOCAL down on their luck homeless people. 100% of ALL of the donations they receive go to the homeless, no one takes a penny as a paycheck of any kind. You donations whether they be monetary, cell phones, food or clothes are ESSENTIAL to help these people who are HUMAN just like you or I and for Passion Works to continue their charity work.
Chuck and I have known each other for awhile now and get along very well together and we appreciate what each of us do. That being said I have donated my time and photography to Passion Works so I am now the staff photographer for Chuck and Passion Works. Chuck asked me if I would like to join him for a trip to tent city in Lakewood last Sunday. I wanted to see for myself what these poor people are going through. It was a very humbling experience to see people just like YOU AND ME that have fallen on hard times with losing their jobs, lack of work, losing their homes to foreclosure and more in addition to their cars. I can’t imagine how these people must feel being forced into this situation in many cases due to our horrible economy.
Below I’m posting photos of what I saw, most people and or faces are were not photographed to protect their privacy. As much as many believe these are still HUMANS that have rights and deserve their privacy just like us. If these photos don’t pull on your heart strings and make you want to help Passion Works with their mission you truly must be heartless. Think to yourself if you lost your job, car and home. What would you do with no one to turn to, no outside family members for help. How would you feed your children? How would you put a protective roof over their heads. As proud locals we NEED to help our own LOCAL people in need.
