Celebrating Sonja's birthday

7/13/2017

 
Today, we celebrated a wonderful person's birthday, our sister Sonja.

Sonja never plans or asks for anything for her birthday because she says she always ends up getting disappointed. This year, we wanted to change that. 

We didn't tell her that we were celebrating, just to hurry and come over.  When they arrived, we let them wash and then we shared a meal together with a sweet treat, a card and a small gift. Sonja was so touched, she said she was speechless.

On Skid Row, there is so much focus on the homeless to the point that sometimes with these groups Sonja says she "feels like an animal at the zoo".  People don't see her, they just see the hundreds of faceless homeless. We need to stop generalizing and see each person and each story.  Let's come together and make #life4homeless.

​오늘은 쏘니아의 43번째 생일...
태어나서 한번도 생일을 축하받지못했다는말이 내마음을 아프게한다.
너무바쁜 스케쥴이여서 맛난음식직접해주지못하지만 샤워와 음식 그리고작은선물들을 준비해서 깜짝써프라이즈파티 를 해주며..... 쏘니아 ~~내년 너의 생일땐 나를 너희집으로 초대해줘줘~~♡♡♡생일축하해....I love you

What can I do to make a difference?

These are tough times. We can no longer ignore the problem of homelessness. It is up to us to go into our local communities and giving the homeless a hand up, not just a hand out. We live through, we serve through”.

​By helping one another in our communities across the country, we can make a significant impact on the homeless problem not just in Los Angeles, but around the world. “We are not looking to give them a handout, we want to give them life".

“우리는 살아가며 이웃을섬김니다” 라는 마음으로 전국의지역사회가 서로합심하면 로스엔젤레스 뿐만아닌 전세계의 노숙자문제에 상당한 영향을 미칠 수 있습니다. 우리는 그들에게 많은 것을 줄수는 없지만 그들에게 희망과 새로운 삶을주고 싶습니다."
