Bob and Roady have entered the life of the Bryant’s. My kids and I pray for them every night and we look for them whenever we are around Target on Churn Creek in Redding Ca.
I met Bob quite awhile ago and Erin has also met them when we have given them food or socks. The kids always ask where Bob and Roady’s house is and it seems upsetting to Elliott that they don’t have one. I love that the kids are seeing these two people. Actually seeing them is a big thing because as you watch customers enter Target you would think Bob and Roady were invisible.
I am starting to look seriously at the homeless population in Redding. Here are some really great links to resources and groups already doing some good work. I can’t wait to contact them and see how I and my church friends can help.
Also here is a link to a FaceBook Cause… http://apps.facebook.com/causes/208963?m=cc366e79…in order to join and take part in the discussion and announcements you need to create a login no big deal really.
