In January of this year, 22,712 children under the age of ten slept
in homeless shelters. Just in New York. Nationally, the number is nearly 3-million.
We are going to give those children a way out of this unwarranted misery and provide them with a new home, from which they can gain the education they need to build the life and the future they have little chance of seeing if nothing is done.
To us the solution is clear: The Banks currently hold over 3-million foreclosed homes. We are going to purchase those homes and donate them to Shelters and homelessness-related Non-profits. Their staff will then help clients with children to move in and get their lives back.
There is no cost to the Shelters, the parents or anyone who helps them.
It gets better: While the project can help thousands of people it will not cost the taxpayers a dime. Quite the reverse; Even if we only reached half of the 2.76-million children now in Shelters and their parents only got minimum-wage jobs, the nation would still gain over $5-billion in new revenue from their taxes in the first two years alone.
But the benefits to the children are the biggest motive, and those should be huge.
We believe this project is among the most formative investments in childhood any organization could ever attempt; Children are the very fabric of this nation's future, and to believe they could fulfill this pivotal destiny without a decent education or the emotional stability of a home of their own is both irrational and unsupported by all current research.
A solution, even one that might sound as 'left-field' as this, is desperately needed. It will turn hundreds of untended eyesores into clean, well-kept homes filled with children whose lives have finally regained their potential.
And we believe such proactive support of those who must eventually inherit this land is both an imperative task and our communal duty.
If you would like to help turn this simple plan into their daily lives, get in touch and let's give them a chance...
Appleseed Humanity.
