oh Dripping while living outside is not an easy thing. u have no idea what its like in the camps..

no water, no elec, tents, fire ants, racoons, snakes, gators.. ,...

i have a mess dripping at home..LOL

it needs to be kept simple like carts.. they can fill 2 a day or ill have prefilled for them. i hit camps every few days..

i am starting with three of my friends who live outside and see how it goes..

i will post pics so u guys get an idea of who, what and where.. its not pretty.. i have spent the night out there in 100 weather.. was ate up.. we do alot at Matthews Hope as well as "the Gathering".. Christians in general dont like to support addictions and i am putting myself out on a limb by doing this in public. LOL

Wont be the first time im an outlaw preacher.. but im not using the ministry name or money.. this is just me, a man who loves God and these folks who live outside..

i am deeply touched by those that are reaching out to our friends who live outside.. i responded to all PM's.. i will set up something for donations i suppose. I like the passing on our own stuff better but never say no to $$..

I am who i say i am.. i have been doing this a long time..

I even bring these guys to my home to detox them from benzo's, booze, opiates... my wife is a nurse who started a clinic in haiti and works in an ER here in florida..

i am an old school addict. I have recovered the life God intended for me and share what i have.. I do not beat anyone over the head with a bible or preaching unless they ask. I just love and give a hand up, not a hand out.. I have many friends who live outside who would jump in front of a bullet for me, or you..

Frankie..

I have a group of people going in with me to order some supplies from the health cabin to donate to BrotherFrankie. I am going to place the order the week of the 16th. If anyone would like to join in with us, please PM me and let me know. I am not too sure the best way to go about this as far as money goes as I am new and do not have a PP account. I guess I will go look into that now. If anyone has suggestions or would like to join us please just let me know!

wow is all i can say...

just so ya know.. i was in tears yesterday at mathews hope (our shelter) we are building a shower trailer with three showers and a washer dryer to bring out to homeless camps. we needed vehicles to pull this monster.. someone donated a dually pickup in awesome shape just for that.

then someone donated an 04 lincoln navigator to use to take our homeless friends to doctors, the VA, whatever... i usaully use the motorcycle and that gets old in the rain..LOL..,

we have served over 700 homeless folks. every tuesday we serve between 50-100 three meals, laundry, bikes, documents, full medical, shower, Video watching in Air conditioned room, counseling, u name it..

on thurdays i do an addiction group, a bible study and am getting ready to start a GED course. we have a professional head hunter that gives a resume/job interview class. we supply dress clothes and prep for joB interviews..

this vaping thing is a lil side thing because i got tired of these people picking up buts from street or smoking those nasty a$$ clippers..

Thanks folks, i am amazed and humbled..

i opened my facebook pics i hope this works..

What I do

have a great night folks.. i hope the links give u an idea of what my wife and i have committed our life to..

Ok everyone my paypal account is set and ready to go. We have already received our first donation of $60. It makes my heart swell to know that people want to help. I have been in contacted with Brother Frankie and will be working with him to figure out everything that we need to order. If you would like to donate please PM and I will send you the email address. I will keep this post updated with the currently info and how much we have collected.

PS To the mods, can I post the email address here? It was set up for our vape group so it is not a private email address. I am new so I do not want to break any rules

thursday i will post a pic and bio of our first recipient of an e cigg,, grizzly adams AKA eric.,. he has cancer.. i need permission from him.

next guy is Mr Green. (he designed the parking garage at universal studios and the control tower at Orlando International airport) and is now living outside due to the economy.

these guys are family men who landed on hard times..

that parking garage was cutting edge and the only one in the world like it at he time..

these men are not drunks, not druggies.. they are american heros, veterans and family men with kids..

they just happen to live outside.. if ya bend a knee, say a prayer..

Be blessed folks. i am humbled..

What an amazing opportunity for the vaping community to really show some love! I'm sharing this with everyone I can think of who may be able to assist.. you are truly a man of God, BrotherFrankie. These are beautiful people who have fallen on hard times. We've all been there, to some degree. I watched the videos you shared.. you are the real deal. PM me your address, I have a full eGo kit I can send your way for now. I'll see what else I can drum up over the next few weeks, as well.

Love & prayers headed your way.
