1970 cadillac people of the second chance mobile homeless

Posted by Mike Foster: Add A POTSC Twibbon

I wanted to introduce you to one the new and VERY exciting POTSC projects.

We are helping drive relief to mobile homeless community. They are individuals who live in their cars and use their vehicles for shelter. They are made up of the working poor, those who have hit a financial crisis(loss of job or foreclosure), families with kids, and even college students.

So we’ve decked out a 1970 Cadillac and created a “rolling graphic novel” telling the stories of the mobile homeless.

Special thanks to Ghostlight Creative, PlainJoe Studios, Ethur, Nathan and Hans at PR1MARY, and Daley Hake.

So we’ve partnered with GiftCardGiver.com to help raise funds for this community. The funds raised will benefit Just One(Laundry Love) and Invisible People.

OUR GOAL: Raise $50,000 this year through this initiative.

    I'm so excited that you're partnering with Laundry Love and Invisible People. Yay! Charles Lee and Mark Horvath are two of my favorite people. You keep good company, my friend ;)

    Mike, I became aware of this campaign when you spoke at Central Christian Church in Las Vegas this week. Our world is in turmoil these says. I fear that our country is falling apart partly because “we” don't look out for one another as we once did. As a single father and full time student, I have been close to becoming one of the mobile homeless. If more of us came together as a community, we could put this country back together stronger than it ever was.

    May God continue to bless you and those that you come in contact with.
