Campaign Story
My mission is to collect funding to provide the basics for existence to those unable to earn and next treat the causes.
IS THIS REAL
I built a perfect life for myself partner and her child. This was the peak of my happiness. Eventually I had no car or work. What happened? Bipolar disorder, alcoholism, and PTSD happened. How and why? There were more changes before the answers. I was given shelter in a furnace room. With no usable assets I was removed from work life, retail life, and social loops. All I had worked for crumbled into emptiness.
A friend took me to a place where youths half my age meet. It was an outrageous masquerade. The emotions of the room, happy and loving, clashed with my internal sadness and I felt greatly confused. "This is Kip." my friend said. "Stephan is new." he told Kip. Kip took my hand and shaped it with his through a series of gestures with words then gave me a hand made gift.
What had failed my structured life? Can I join society again? Who are these unseen youths? What was their intent with this gift and special handshake?
NEW SOCIETY
Soon I personally knew a thousand youths and many adults without resources, unable to earn the basics for existence and a place in our society. They have however created their own. With thier own rules, traditions, and often trade for currency they live in groups and reappoint each other as Dad, Mom, and other family members. Some have jobs and carry the burden of others making it dificult to keep employment. They created R Safe, a collective effort to look after each other. They created PLUR which is sharing the beliefs of Peace, Love, Unity, Respect. PLUR can ease the pain of society, poverty, being outcast, self cutting, parental neglect, parental abuse, parental absence, and having no family at all. Most of all they are a movement for full acceptance. Unlike our society ex gang members, the transgender, the disabled, and many more are respected equally. They gather in many places to emotionally heal and release pain. Thier society is the child of ours. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed.
NOW WHAT
The suffering of others is nothing new but when these people had no help they started a movement. This movement supported me when I was outside of society and continues to help others without shelter, food, or family. They don't ask for recognition. In fact they haven't asked for anything. They have shown me true acceptance, that everyone is equal, and that we are all each others children. I have the answers to move forward with my life and now I will collect and provide for those unable to earn the basics for existance with all my efforts.
The beneficiaries are those UTE (unable to earn) the BFE (basics for existance). There will be no discrimination and distribution will focus on maximum benefit.
THE PLAN
1) Funds will be Collected, PRIORITY ITEMS will be purchased, and items will be distributed with AWARENESS LITERATURE. First donations will be Ready To Eat Nutrition and Hydration. First literature will include an introduction to FTH (FROM THE HEART) with a way to connect, comment, make donations, and request donations. With the first donations FROM THE HEART will be active. Documentation will be kept, presented, and available for comment.
2) Volunteers will spread awareness with literature, social networks, and custom attire. While funds increase more priority donations will be included. FTH will adapt to maximize benefit and efficiency as funds, results, input, and requests are made.
3) FTH will be seeking further support to hold fundraising events and may seek sponsored support. While funds increase more priotity donations will be included. Further plans will be made for shelter, heat, and other large scale projects.
