You will Not see photos here of Homeless people, laying around looking helpless or in squalor in order to exploit them and gain your sympathy. Why? because STA strives to lift them out of the Homeless Assistance World and become reliant on themsleves. Because, this is not who they really are.
The photos you see will be of our Homeless friends, after STA has spent countless hours with them and they are moving Straight Ahead towards Taking Back Their Life. They will be clean, showered, hair cut, etc. This will be to gain your trust and belief in them. This will be to show you who they really are.
We hope you enjoy our site and please know we need your monetary help towards this important life changing work and anything you can give is appreciated. Keep in mind who it is for and why. Please give because you can, for the sake of giving. Not because you are needing a tax shelter.
