Brother's Keeper

Last week a few friends and I had an idea. The temperature here in BHM got down to single digits. We decided to use our social media to gather donated supplies and make backpacks for the homeless in our city. We spent 3 days driving around collecting, preparing, and passing out these essential packs to the unsuspecting, very cold, and very grateful people in downtown Birmingham. Atleast 75 people who were bound to sleep outside each got "get warm" backpacks with jackets, shirts, pants, beanies, gloves, food, scarves, tooothpaste, deodorant, razors, and the general knowledge that their fellow man cares.

It is not about political affiliation, faith, race, gender, or social media ID. It's about helping people in your community stay safe. We all deserve A few basic human rights such as clean water, food, warmth, etc. After all, none of us are immune to the lack thereof.

(This post is not about patting ourselves on the back. This post is meant to inspire you to gracefully consider taking responsibility as your brothers' keeper. No person, government, or system can ever stop it. Define this as our non-violent protest to those who seek to divide and conquer mankind. Just be kind, man. Game on.)

Give, give, give....and that's how we WIN.!
