More of the Story,,,,,,,

We are in desperate need of funds and more. To further our continued work we are trying to raise funds to purchase a new Mobile Crisis Unit and build a facility in Knoxville TN to house apartments for our homeless "friends" at none or little cost, a thrift store, coffee house/deli and an activiuty center/offices where we will assist our "friends" in applying for Social Security benefits, their SS ID cards, applying for jobs, working on GED's and more.

The following is a photo of the van we currently use as our Mobile Crisis Unit. It has over 200,000 miles on it and is in need of repairs. It needs to be replaced actually, But we would still retain it for helping our "friends" move etc.












We need to obtain the following type unit. The photo shows what the graphics would look like which are being designed by Creative Edge Graphics of Knoxville, TN. This would be a "Closed Door Unit." Available to those truely showing they want help and to "Take Back Their Life." This unit would be outfitted with 3 showers, 3 toilets, 2 stackable washer/dryers, handicapped lift, handicapped accessible shower and office capabilities and 3 beds. This would enable "STA" to have a Mobile Crisis Unit/Office where we can interview our homeless "friends", allow them to take a shower, launder their clothes and give them a meal all at one time at any hour of the day or night. The perfect fit. We need to raise $285,000 for this unit, designed and built by Concept Haulers of Shorewood, Illinois. 877-941-9681 Mr. Jim Randa Should you need a unit or want to help us obtain this one.

This is the building we want to obtain and remodel to include eleven, 300 sq ft efficiency/1 bdrm style apartments including 3 handicapped accessible apartments, a coffee house/deli, thrift store and activity center/main offices and laundry facility.
