For a moment, imagine you are a homeless child. Right now, you would not be on MySpace, but instead you would be trying to find a warm, safe place to sleep and something to eat.
365 days a year, kids are living on the streets, desperately seeking basic necessities – food, clothing and shelter – things many of us take for granted. And everyday, these children are ignored, but you can help.
You can take the time to do something. And you can start right now by viewing Covenant House’s video to learn how you can make a difference.
Could you just walk past one of these abused and abandoned children?

"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight."
