A peek into my 11 year-old daughter's journal, written out exactly as she has written it (but I'll edit the spelling - there are one or two glaring errors).

Homeschooled for the Homeless

First off, the word homeless could also mean food-less. Meaning no food.  My plan is to help those who need a home and food to eat.I am not going to be able to give them a home but I will be able to get them to shelter where they will get daily meals. And if they do not accept the offer of a little shelter then we will not force them and we will not leave them there unfoodful and cold. So, we will have bags with the following inside: Crackers, juice box, blanket, rain coat, candy, crayons, paper, scarf, mittens, hat.

And some places to go to get these things for cheap: the Dollar Store, Liquidation World.

The point of Homeschooled for the Homeless is to bring people closer to Christ and maybe, someday, you might see one of the people you helped at the store or driving on the freeway, or at church or something. We may even be able to put some sort of small Bible into each of the bags, or a Jesus fish or some sort of thing that has to do with Christ. My plan is to bring thousands of homeless people to a home and a family and Christ.  Also it would be great to bring other people, even people with homes to Christ and we can, but we want to touch the lives of the homeless so they won't see a Christian as a bad person but an amazing one.  And that is what brings people closer to God, they see a person walking down the street just like a normal person and then they see that someone homeless is lying down and they're holding a coffee can and saying, "Help me, I need food and water." And the person gives him 2 dollars. Now, the person watching this probably said to himself, "Wow, that is a Christian, I want to be like her."  Well, then he grows up to be a pastor of the world's greatest church all because of a girl that helped a poor old man. Most people think that if you give money to a homeless person they're going to buy drugs with it.  Well, sure, some do. Most don't, most REALLY do need food and water. So imagine there's a homeless guy on the side of the road saying he is hungry.  What are you gonna drive by and stick your tongue out at him? NO! Give him a couple bucks, for heaven's sake, I mean think WWJD. Okay? So next time you're driving and you see a homeless person don't just drive past - pull over and give him any bit of change you have in your pockets.  If they are thankful it will help, Lots!
