Hope For Shattered Dreams “We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of povertyâ€.~ Mother Teresa Most have visions of starving children living in cardboard boxes far away in India when thinking of poverty or homelessness, but I implore you to think and look again. Given the current state of the economy, more and more families right here in the great Northwest are facing joblessness and foreclosure(s), all to be followed by the inevitable….the broken American Dream, placing individuals and families in a state of poverty that, seemingly, there is no return from. St. Vincent de Paul’s Voice reported that, in 2010, estimates suggest that in the North- west 1,100 – 1,500 are homeless, with one quarter of the homeless population being veterans and twenty percent being “chronically homelessâ€! Appalling as that may seem , the homeless rate is increasing at alarming rates right here in Coeur d’ Alene , Idaho! St. Vincent de Paul’s is at the frontline travailing this epidemic, serving the community in which we all strive for the American dream… a dream of peace, love, tranquility, security, a place to call home, a place to watch our children expand, becoming our future, a place with growth marks on the door jams , a place where evening meals are shared and laughter abounds, a place of joyful memories of love and progression, a dream for many that is all but lost, shattered by an economic downfall that is of no cause of their own. In 2009 in an effort to combat this shattering of American Dreams St. Vincent de Paul’s assisted and served over 1,011 families with services ranging from homeless shelters to clothing and food to medical services and counseling through the newly opened H.E.L.P center. That is where I and my wife come in. From the onset of 2009, our small construction business began to crumble; albeit we tried, we were unable to salvage our dream, and with the loss of our business our home shortly followed. In the midst of all this we were blessed with a beautiful baby boy; it is that joy and devotion that has gotten us through our most trying times. On the brink of total homelessness, we discovered the H.E.L.P center. Albeit, feeling humiliated and desperate , less than human , the staff at the H.E.L.P center was kind, courteous and helpful, not treating one as if they are less than. We still struggle against the tide of this economy, yet God has always provided with the help of others like St. Vincent’s. With the kindness we received from others, we were inspired to give back. Yet, we were faced with a dilemma , how do you give when you have nothing? We took our problem to the ONE who solves all; in prayer and meditation we were inspired with an idea. We would help ourselves while helping others, all the while providing people with a treat. We took a leap of faith, combining my wife’s love for making great desserts and my gift for presentation and business. So it is with the purchase of each fudge- filled gift bag, that a percentage of the proceeds goes to St. Vincent de Paul’s in an endeavor to combat homelessness in Coeur d’ Alene. People helping people is at the heart of America and it is, with that spirit, that we all shall extinguish this epidemic, giving all families a chance at the American dream. Together, be it one fudge bag at a time, one dollar at a time or just a smile greeting those less fortunate, together we can make a difference. We all are responsible for one another, lifting each other up in love, understanding and compassion. If we all stand for one another, who or what can stand against us? God bless!

Sample writing of Joyce L. Hargrove Stuck in the Seventies Everyone has a favorite decade, an era of comfort and simplicity in their lives that stands out above all others, a time filled with fond memories and childhood dreams. For me, this special time was, unfortunately, dubbed “the most embarrassing decadeâ€. Yet, here in the twenty-first century, I continue to don my platform shoes and sequined bellbottoms for a night on the town and, amazingly enough, still receive compliments. In fact, seeking out such “artifacts†is actually a lot of fun. Combing the thrift stores for timeless treasures can be a rewarding adventure. Looking back, it seems as though the seventies fashions were filled with texture, and hair was no exception - feathered, fluffed, flared, frayed or fro(ed) …in fact, the bigger the better. Ditto with electronics! Remember how cool eight-tracks were? And what about console TV’s and the first personal computers? We were groovy! Everything seemed to be filled with color, as well…rainbows and psychedelics and yellow smiley faces. Make love, not war was our motto. Disco was king and drugs were the thing. Life seemed so much simpler, but was it, really? The Vietnam War was still an everyday part of life, the Watergate scandal covered the news, women’s rights (including abortion) were flourishing, celebrity overdoses hit front page and, rounding out the decade was the Iran controversy. Compared to today’s world, one might say those issues were only the stepping stones to this generation’s problems but, no matter how you look at it, we learn from our mistakes, including fashion faux pas. Yet, if hip huggers were any indication, they only glorify today’s low-rise jeans. And what about the smock tunic that has, once again, become so popular. If fashions were so ridiculous, then why is everyone lining up to buy them, once more? Aside from the hype, comes the comfort and certainty we shared during those times, something to look back on in fond remembrance, something that will continue to carry us through the rough times.
