All over the TV you see news about the crumbling economy, unemployed people and businesses going bankrupt. The government is trying to do whatever it can, but apparently it’s not enough. Tens of thousands of people find themselves without a job and WITHOUT A HOME to live in every week.

Things have come to the point that the government is setting up special tent cities and safe parking lots for people who have nowhere to go and would otherwise live and sleep on public streets.

Those people are good at what they’re doing, but right now they’d take on any job… except no one is offering them one and most of them don’t know how to adapt to these new circumstances. They’re used to the old system: look for a job, send a CV, wait for reply. But it doesn’t work anymore.

Seeing all this, Dave Lakhani of BoldApproach.com, took the initiative and is currently working on a program called “Kickstart America”, which, if successful, will change a lot of lives to better and will help the economy.

What he will do is go to all those tent cities and unemployed people and teach them, show them how they can find work, market themselves and succeed in the current state of affairs.

But he can’t do it alone. He needs 100 people to help him lead the way. This is no easy task, and they gotta be prepared to encounter a lot of problems, but the cause is worthy AND there are some rewards. Watch his video for more details (I tried posting it below but click the link if it doesn’t show here).

Even if you are not prepared to be one of them and donate $1000, you still can help!

Any donation, volunteer time, any blog post/tweet/digg/stumble or link to the page will help!

I will tell everyone I know about this, and tell them to forward the message. Imagine if you do the same: the number of people aware of the problem and the number of people ready to help will increase exponentially! YOU CAN MAKE A CHANGE!

The people that you will help are not your usual homeless, they are people like our neighbours, cousins, friends. People that tried their hardest to make things work but were outed by circumstances they can not control (like corporations out of business and mass layoffs).

So please, do whatever you can to spread the word and contribute to the program. Repost or retweet this post, tell your friends and relatives, join Dave, create your local group, anything! Together nothing is impossible!
