Be one of the first to know…

Are you the nurse, doctor, teacher, business executive or scientist that you invented in your mind when your life was still carefree, or are you a mad, resentful Ogre who constantly reruns woulda, coulda, shoulda though your mind? Have you found yourself hating all mankind because your dreams, your amazing vision for your life has dissipated into dark, disgusting smoke? Well, stop right now! Take a deep breath in, hold it…more.

My new book “The Art of Reinventing You” is almost ready to be revealed to the world. I wanted to share a sneak peak of my new website with my supporters and fans and hope you will join me in celebrating my second birthing.

Detroit, September 15, 2011—The Blanket Relief for Area Shelters is the program that collects and distributes blankets for the homeless shelters and other human service agencies serving the homeless in Wayne , Oakland and Macomb County.

 

It is a community wide effort relying on individuals, schools, churches, business, and service clubs to collect money and new twin size blankets for World Medical Relief, which is the agency managing the program.

 

On Thursday September 22, 2011 at 11 a.m. World Medical Relief opens its doors with a special kick-off event to give more people a chance to become part of this crucial community program.

 

Versandra Kennebrew, local author and educator, will speak about how she became homeless and how she recovered. A lunch will be served.

 

It is a free event but participants are asked to bring donations of new twin size blankets or a monetary contribution to the program. Seating is limited and reservations are required. Please call 313-866-5333 ext. 222 or by e-mail events@worldmedicalrelief.org

 

Without this program the homeless families, men, women and children do not have blankets to keep themselves warm in Michigan ’s frigid winters.

World Medical Relief hopes to distribute 18,000 blankets to 70 homeless shelters and other human service agencies in early November.

 

With its headquarters in Detroit , World Medical Relief was established in 1953 to address the needs of Korean War orphans. Over the years, the organization has expanded its mission by providing medical aid to thousands of underserved people in the Detroit metropolitan area and in over 100 developing nations worldwide.

thousands of college students are homeless, struggling to continue their studies while seeking the education necessary to live a better life.

During September, International Self Improvement Month, we ask that you light a candle to illuminate your own life while supporting our continued efforts to inspire and encourage students to not give up on their dreams. Our 10-city
homeless awareness & sensitivity tour has already been a blessing to so many students, entrepreneurs, retirees and shelter residents. (subscribe to our blog for tour updates) Your candle purchase today will help us continue this
dynamic tour, reaching Atlanta, Birmingham, Washington D.C, NewYork, Chicago, Cincinnati, Dallas and back to Detroit.
