I just sent a FB friend request (my name is Lorna). That was a great article about Matthew's Hope and all that is done. What my church does is just a drop in the bucket compared to what you guys are doing down there!

I tried to convince my Homeless Brother to try vaping for years. When he finally decided to try it, it was too late. Between his Reynauds, Heart Problems, Bad eyesight, Schitzophrenia, and Drug Addictions, it was difficult finding a good mod for him that he could refill easily, charge fast at the soup kitchen, and be easy to replace whenever stolen or confiscated. Anything with needles was out of the question. Anything with tiny cartos was out of the question. Reo's were about the only thing that would be easy for him to refill... but the cost of replacing was prohibitive for me. So... I finally just went with a Volt kit for him, and decided to keep the bottles of juice with me so they couldn't be tampered with, and refill 100 cartos for him each visit. I wish you guys were here when he needed you, and thank God you are here now for others with special conditions. It's so crazy true how the cops tear up their tents, toss their backpacks, and have zero respect for the few possesions they do own. My brother couldn't be treated in the NA because he was also Schitzo, and he couldn't be treated in the Mental Institution because he was also a drug addict. Landlords were scared to take him in, our hands were tied with small children in the house (not a good idea to have him around them), and so much more. Long story short, thank you for reaching out to those who need our help continuously. Kudos!

I guess my friend replied himself.......Good going Jason!
And to all of you here, Vaporrenu is a great site for really affordable e-juice ....$8 dollars for 30ML, how can you go wrong?
I'm glad you're going to help out with the juice Jason....or pg/vg & Flavorings so he can mix his own juice

i needed to respond to this.. first i am sorry UMA about your brother and the hurt involved.. you did not have the power to change him or heal him......, nor did anyone else..
I KNOW about co-occurring mental disorders and addiction. if u see some of my vids u will know my kids were used to finding all sorts of people sleeping in our home, on the floor, detoxing, (pooping at times..lol) when they got up for school they had no idea who or what would be there..
Christmas and holidays for us was out in the camps, or with the homeless or "the least of us" as the bible say's..
eciggs have come a long way.. cartos last longer, batts charge faster and last longer too....
with a lil help from others my simple question of "suggestions anyone" turned into being able to get 20 outsiders vaping within 30 days give or take a week.. (i am on number 4 now with 3 more set when supplies come in. thats a lot of carts and juice)
we have gotten help from all over the country and all over the globe..
people that have lost loved ones to addiction, the streets or a disorder have written me privately and shared their pain..
addicts have called and asked for help.. (yup, folks on ECF need help too)..
feeling safe.
when people feel safe it creates an opportunity to help.. it works with your spouse, your kids and strangers.
when i am on the street i sit on the curb, i dig in the dumpster, i listen.. i listen...i listen.. i listen then listen some more..
then after doing what i say i am going to do i am trusted and they feel safe.. just like here..
look at all the strangers here being nice, generous, giving what they have even though some have very little.. wow..
we have Christ followers, pagans, wiccans, atheists, Muslims, Hindu all helping people they do not know.. LOL..
i do need to chuckle. God does have a sense of humor.
so dear friend, i accept all the help i can get.. i give thanks to the Lord for sending folks to help. i always say these gifts are from people that love you tho they have not met you when i give anything away..
i also add i will be back to check up and see what u need next week, or in a few days.. they all have my home number..
ill shut up now. i may be rambling..
ill take any size jug of 60/40 high nic plain i can get.. LOL
Humbly
Frankie
Thank you, Frankie. My heart needed that. The in-law side of the family and even all my so-called irl friends totally ignored his death... no condolence at all... they just smuggly feel that they're finally not being panhandled to death anymore and everyone's in a better place now. I feel so sorry for them. They only saw the desperate side of his life, not his real side, his great side.
I needed that little hug. Thank you.
I haven't seen your videos yet, but will look them up when I have a little more time soon.
This past year, I've been listening to the Loveline show on the radio, and I've learned so much. The most important being that I, and my immediate family, should have been going to NA. That NA is for the family of the addicted, and they teach the family (loved ones) how to cope, how to help, how to not help, and so much more. I wish I would have learned that lesson years ago.
Keep up the good work, and I'll be donating when I can.

Thank you for allowing this thread.. i became a paid subscriber because of all the good stuff on ECF
i am in debt to you. The Homeless folk now use the term ECF in their vocabulary..
example.. i was showing a guy how to vape. we were on church property in a dining area.. another pastor was passing buy and noticed clouds of vapor above our heads.. the pastor yelled across, hey kerc, you know better than... what are you....
then the guy answered, ECF donations Pastor, im receiving ECF donations and pastor frankie says its just a lil steam between friends... not to worry about it..
later, guy with one eye says, can u take me to ECF so i can stop smoking? then a girl who overheard said ECF is that big church right? other guy said no, they are people that care if we get lung cancer or not..
so there ya go..
Peace and thanks.

Today was a very long day for me, with some not very good news and some test results. I have been feeling a little down and then I come here. I read all of the posts that have been written since I last posted and I just cried. I am so blessed to have "met" every single one of you. You are all such a blessing. Jason made me cry with his generosity. It is nice to see a supplier jump in and offer his help. It is heart warming to see total strangers that maybe do not have much themselves offer what little they have.
Then I get to this last post from Bro Frankie about how these people we do not know, appreciate what we are trying to do and maybe for a moment they do not feel so alone, and they can feel the love from strangers hundreds of miles away. God is amazing and he is showing his glory through every single one of you.
I am honored to be working with all of you and am so glad to see that more and more keep joining and want to be of service.
Have a fantastic weekend everyone and know that you helped me get out of my own head today!
