We Have A New Van for Hope Station USA, Hooray!!

We just acquired a van for Hope Station USA to be able to deliver more essentials to the homeless and needy, plus it will be used for our program that will transport them back and forth to work as they work their program with us. We hope to touch many and expected to reach many more with our compassion and experience.
The van needs some work which will take a couple of months to get done to make it ready, but we anticipate the outcome of making our first delivery to the homeless. It will come in handy picking up donations as well. We believe it will be an essential part of our new project that I need to get to work writing grants to help with the funding.
We do believe that after the first project is set up and in place that more funding will come in to build many more sites for more programs. Our pilot community will be a smash hit with the homeless and will help many to regain their self-sufficiency. We are registered in Florida and Georgia and hopefully will be adding Tennessee soon this year because we think that it will be the best place to set up our first community since we can achieve that land cheaply and affordably.
We have no one on salary and everyone is a volunteer. We wish to acquire the skills of the homeless to help us build the community and set things up. Then, the word of mouth will spread through the homeless community and many will come to us for help and want to join our program. The majority of everyone out there that is homeless wants to be out there. We have spoken with several people who just need and want someone to help them get up on their feet so that they can continue going making more and more progress. Let's pull together and give them a hand up. Keep the homeless in your prayers and thoughts. Take care and God bless.

I Have Some Good News to Share

Hello everyone and thank you for visiting our site. We have been working on getting our new program up and funded but have found financial difficulty. We are keeping our thoughts positive and hopeful for a new year and plenty of individuals helped by our services.
Our good news is that we have secured a passenger van for transportation and the ability to service more areas. It needs a little work and cleaned up but we are happy to have it. We will be able to move more supplies to more areas and that will help us get our name out there.
I am getting ready to begin making donations drive table calls to local Walmarts and see how much help we can get to help those still living out in the cold. We need everyone's support and the homeless need our help.
With this new vehicle, our services are endless as far as locations to help serve them. Please share this post with your friends and family and help us by making a contribution yourself. God Bless.

4/12/2019 Status Update

Hello everyone! It is a beautiful day here in Dalton, Georgia and the sun is shining. I wanted to give everyone an update on our progress. I have been trying to raise money through different sources but no one seems to care to support a cause that has been an issue for many years. I will not give up though. It is my passion to help those who are in need of assistance.

We have been busy around here with personal matters and I am ready to try something else now. I am going to start making arrangements for table donations at local merchants to get some funding to come in and help. I also need to finish setting up my list of foundations to send requests for support. I am hopeful that we will meet our goal to build our first community by the end of the year.

The homeless individuals that we have spoken to about the program are excited to get someone to help them regain their self-sufficiency. It only takes a dollar from every American and we could end the homeless situation in the United States. People are so worried about their own lives and money that they don't seem to care that a homeless individual could be a family member or their own next door neighbor, they want to help themselves only.

My plan is to start making calls next week to set up tables to collect donations and to sell candles in order to get some of the funding to help towards our goal. I have been using some of our own personal money to pay for all the registrations and paperwork to keep Hope Station alive and never wanting it returned. That is how much I care to keep her going to assist them out there in the wilderness struggling to survive.

We will make our goal this year for one community to show everyone how well our program would work to help end homelessness. I just wanted to give everyone an update on the status and will post again soon hopefully with some good news. Take care and if you want to show your support just click on one of the links below. Be blessed.

3/29/2019 Status Update

Hello everyone. It is time for another update on our progress. I have set up a GoFundMe campaign which isn't doing very well right now. I have to set up another campaign on a different site and I have been placing the donation links everywhere with still no response.

It saddens me when we have a sure plan of helping the homeless to regain their self-sufficiency and no one cares to help support us. I have not seen anyone with this type of plan and we have spoken to some of the homeless and they can't wait for us to get it set up because it will definitely help them. There is a good response from the homeless population, it is just getting the community to help us out to get this project going.

I will be updating the campaign page with a post and then set up the other campaign page on a different site to see if these people can help support our efforts. I also hope to get some grant funding research done today and tomorrow to seek out funding for our project.

Once we secure funding for our project, the first location will be a trial run to make sure it will work and to record the success rate. We are positive that it will work, but the community needs to see the success rate to give their support. Once the success rate is recorded then, we will try for more locations across the United States to help end hunger and poverty everywhere and hopefully, other charities will jump on board to help in other locations.

I am working on setting up donation tables at local merchants and that will be worked on this next week to get some set up in the next couple of weeks. I am hopeful that things will come together this year for Hope Station.

3/3/2019 Status Update

Good morning everyone. First I want to send my thoughts and prayers out to those sleeping outside. I just wanted to give everyone an update. If you haven't noticed yet there is another page added to the site? It will be my journal and route taken during my walk. you can look there during my walk and see my progress as far as the route that I will be taking in case your in the area and want to say hello or get a picture with me. You will also see how many miles I have walked, my location, and any money raised during the walk. My husband will be at 5-mile checkpoints for me to take a break and posted up in case you have any donations you want to stop and drop off.

I look forward to this walk and meeting new people out there. I will be stopping to interview the homeless for a book that I will be writing in November. I am very excited about the walk and raising the money to assist them in getting off the streets and becoming working citizens again.

I got a GoFundMe account already in place and I have been working on the grant proposal to submit to certain foundations for funding the project. Things seem to be moving in the right direction this year and I am certain this will be our year for great things.

I just wanted to give you a quick update and will update you again in a few days. Take care and may God keep those living in the streets under his protection.

3/1/2019 Status Update

Hello everyone and how are you? I am doing fantastic and my thoughts and prayers go out to those living on the streets. Last night I finished researching all the information that I needed for the new program of Hope Station USA call Pathway to Self-Sufficiency. it will be a program to help them transition from living on the streets to becoming a working tax paying member of society.

We put a lot of thought into this program and do believe it to be a huge benefit to the community and society as well as to the homeless individuals who join the program. It gives them that hand up that they need to get back on their feet again.

I will place part of the grant proposal and the estimated costs here in this post so that everyone could see what the program entails and what the costs would be to get her up and running. We would use homeless individuals and volunteers to help build the little community and it would provide a few jobs per location that are constructed.

We are excited about it and the benefits outweigh anything else that comes close to helping them. I can't have my heartstrings pulled every time I see someone out there panhandling to survive when most are able to work and that is another benefit of the program and that is to get them working again.

So here is the information about the program and maybe everyone could chip in and help us out.

Pathway to Self-Sufficiency is a program created by Hope Station USA, Inc. that would provide a stable and safe place for a homeless individual to live and with the programs help, they will learn the steps to becoming a working and tax-paying member of society again.

The program consists of steps that will need to be taken in order to graduate the program and become self-sufficient. Each individual will be assessed, and the program will be tailored to the individual's needs and goals. Individuals that graduate from the program will also be considered milestones and accomplishments for Hope Station USA, Inc.

The program for each individual will be six months long, and upon their time of graduation, they will be assisted in moving into their new apartment or home. We will provide transportation to and from their place of employment and back to their assigned housing unit at Pathways to Self-Sufficiency. Each individual will be required to sign a contract stating that they will abide by the rules of the program and that they will assist in keeping everyone within the walls of the program safe and from harm.

There will be ten steps to the program with the first one being the assessment and then being assigned a housing unit. There will be twenty housing units within each Pathway to Self-Sufficiency location created. The goal of this program is to assist as many homeless individuals as we can and get them back into society.

The next step will be to sit down with them and set some goals both short term and long term. We want them to understand that they do have choices on how they live and how they want to be perceived by society. We will also assist them in building a resume if they have work experience prior to becoming homeless.

Through our computer lab, they will have access to job seeking resources and the occasional free time with the internet but under supervision and website blocking for inappropriate material. Also, there will be our version of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous which will be led by myself or a guest speaker with ten or more years under their belt. I have been clean and sober for ten years now and I cherish every minute of it.

There will be community nights where everyone will get together and hang out and get to know each other and barbeque weekends. Hope Station USA will provide them with meals and hygiene products as well as any clothing that they might need for job seeking. The purpose of these meetings will be to let everyone know that they are not alone and to give them hope.

Another step will be to teach them life lessons as we call them. Each individual will be taught the basics of living a normal life, such as cooking, laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, and sewing. We want to equip them to be able to take care of themselves once out on their own.

Once they have acquired employment, then we will take them to open a bank account and teach them to budget and save money. They will have to be taught how to pay bills and live a normal life. After thirty days of working, we will require them to pay one- hundred and fifty dollars a month as a rental payment for their housing unit. This will be used as an income to keep the program going.

The next step will be to assist them in securing a source of transportation. Whether they want a vehicle or a bicycle, it will be to help them get around. Soon after they have acquired their own source of transportation, it will be time to begin saving for their very own apartment.

At their six-month period, we will assist them in moving to their own apartment and we will have a graduation party for them before they are checked out of their housing unit.

Each housing unit will be equipped with a twin bed, a micro-fridge, a small microwave, a refurbished television, a dresser, and a desk with chair and a small lamp. There will be curfews in place for their own safety and someone will be on guard overnight to maintain the safety of the community.

With this program, it will create four to five jobs per location that will be laborers, overnight people, and a housekeeper to keep the bathroom and showers clean on top of doing the laundry that is needed. This person will also check people in and out during the day in the administration building.

2/17/2019 Status Update

Good morning everyone. I am pleased to inform you that we received our registration for the state of Georgia. It is a good day! Now, things can begin on a good note with fundraising and servicing the homeless here. We have lots of plans and I have been working on the fundamentals of a new program and getting the information ready to seek funding for the new program.

We, my husband and I, will be putting some of our own money away towards this program to show our support and everything will be laid out in black and white for everyone to see. I can also start setting up tables here in Georgia too to bring in some funding.

I am excited about this year because it will be a new beginning for Hope Station USA. Some other good news is that I have an agreement with my husband that if I do my treadmill every day and build up my time and endurance, get my weight down to two-hundred and thirty or less, and get medical clearance from my doctor, I will be doing a state walk for charity here in Georgia and then next year will be Florida and Tennessee.

I want to bring about the awareness that we have a serious issue with homelessness that needs our attention. These are human beings having a hard time in life and they need our compassion, respect, and help. Get to know these people in your local community. Buy them a cup of coffee or a burger and sit and talk with them.

I will have a book coming out in November on homelessness and with my walks, I will be sitting along the way with some of them getting their story and picture putting it inside the book so you can get to know these people for who they are and not what drugs or alcohol they are using.

Well, that is all the excitement for now, but I will have more in a few days when I come back and do another status update. Remember these are people too so do something nice for one today. My thoughts and prayers are out there with them. Take care and everyone be blessed.

2/10/2019 Status Update

Hello everyone! It is two twenty-three in the afternoon and thirty- five degrees outside. It is a light rain but you can feel the moisture in the air. I have been up since about ten o'clock and have gotten my coffee and house cleaning done for the day. Now it is time to get some of my writing stuff done.

I took the afternoon off yesterday to take a nap and could not recoup from it until around dinner time because my husband and I were talking about something that woke the beast within me. I did a walk for the homeless back in two-thousand and ten and I think it is needed again to raise awareness and to show my passion for helping them regain their self- sufficiency.

We are currently registered in the state of Florida and Georgia and by the end of the year, we are hoping for Tennessee to be included. We were talking about doing a shorter walk which would be a state walk at a time. I began looking at a map last night to show me routes and mileage for Georgia. My husband would go along as my support team.

I also began looking up solicitor permits last night for door to door donations which we could collect money, blankets, food, and clothing. I get amped up every time we talk or discuss things relating to helping the homeless. I want to do whatever we could to help them.

A percentage of all my book sales go to the organization to give her a residual income to help out. Right now all supplies needed are coming out of my own personal money to help. It is something that is very important to me. Hope Station USA has been incorporated for ten years now and it has been slow due to health and medical issues, but I feel a comeback is coming shortly.

So we would do one state walk during this year which we made a deal that I needed to lose a little bit of weight and get my health back into gear before allowing me to do the walk. I agreed that I need to get I shape for it and have set a goal date to have my weight down and my diabetes under control again and that date is August thirty- first.

I have already started back on the treadmill again to build up my endurance and with that, I also have to have my weight down to two-thirty or less and my sugar has to be under control before that date to do the walk in September. I will make these goals and will make this walk to bring about awareness for the homeless situation going on in our country.

I have a book that is scheduled to be written and published in November on homelessness and while I am on my walk, I want to get some of these individuals stories and pictures to put into this book to allow society to get to know these people and see that they are just human beings and what be homeless has done for and to them.

I am also working on the financial and plan for the new program of Hope Station USA that will help them immensely. I am working on the paperwork to set it up for grant proposals to send out. I have thought about this program in my sleep and have seen it work in my mind. This program could take off and then become a national thing to help end our homeless issues. I will be posting this same post on Hope Station USA's website for those who miss it here.

Other than everything going on there, I am still working on my next book and I have one in editing still, but hopefully, it will be published by the end of this month. I have changed my writing schedule around so that it gives me two weeks per book to write them and then work on the editing stage.

I am very excited right now to get things moving and I wanted to share all my thoughts with you and hopefully, I will get some feedback. Please do something nice for a homeless person today and show them you care. It is all I am asking unless you want to purchase one of my books and that can be your way of contributing to our cause.

I want to wish everyone a blessed day and my thoughts and prayers are going out to everyone sleeping outside in the cold. "Happy Birthday" to everyone born on this date. Take care.

2/9/2019 Status Update

Good morning everyone. How are you? My thoughts and prayers are with those sleeping on the streets tonight and may you stay warm. I have some good news to announce to everyone. I just spoke with my husband who is also a director of Hope Station USA about a charity state walk for homelessness awareness.

I attempted a walk across the country back in 2010 from Orlando, Florida to Los Angeles, California which had to end abruptly due to my support person/Treasurer getting sick that we had to return to Florida where she battled Cancer for a couple of years because of no health insurance and we lost her in 2017.

I want to raise awareness of the homelessness issue here in the United States one state at a time. I have a goal to set it up for September so that it will not be so hot out there while I walk. He agreed to let me do a state walk for each state we are registered in to show our support of the issue. I have health goals to make before doing this and I believe I can do it.

On another note, I will begin working on paperwork today to get our new program together to submit to foundations for funding. It is a good day for getting things done. I will be working on grant proposals today and every day to get some funding coming in to keep going. We might even start some door to door solicitation for money, blankets, and clothing donations. Everything is getting set to go.

I just wanted to give you an update on stuff going on and that we are moving forward. Hope Station USA has been incorporated ten years now and we are excited. Have a great day and do something nice for someone less fortunate today. Take care.

Status Update 1/23/2019

Good morning to all. It is actually a nice morning this morning. It still got a bit cold during the night but right now it is forty degrees outside. I wanted to give everyone an update on our status and it is good news. We are going to be delivering bag lunches out to the homeless this Friday or Saturday, but more like Friday so that we can work the flea market on Saturday. I also have my list of merchants to call to set up tables and get things going.

We will be handing out the lunches, hygiene kits, and some warm clothing. I am going to be working on getting some blankets and socks for the homeless soon because they need it sleeping outside. We will be here serving the homeless in Dalton, Georgia and then working on a trip to Jacksonville, Florida. We are excited and pumped up about getting things started.

We are still waiting on Georgia registration paperwork to be processed, but when I spoke to them they told me to continue working under the same identification number because that won't change. We should have it this week but it will not stop me from helping people. My passion does not need a piece of paper to tell me I can help them. So cross your fingers that it comes soon so that we can start fundraising.

Well, it is time to get going because I have a doctor's appointment this morning and I have some things to get done first before we leave. I just felt the need to update everyone on what we are doing and we wish everyone a blessed and prosperous day. Our prayers go out to those sleeping outside for them to stay warm and be safe. "Happy Birthday" to everyone celebrating one today and may God bless you with many more. Take care. 

Happy New Year's!!

Happy New Year everyone!! How is everyone doing tonight? I am excited about the new year being here because it will bring about new things for Hope Station USA. I am in the works of putting the plans together for the new program that we are developing and still fixing the ads and campaigns to run to bring in funding for the project.

Things move a little slow, but they are coming together. Good things come to those who are patient and wait for their season to come in. I will be setting appointments for donation tables throughout Florida this month to begin drawing in the funding. We have hygiene kits that we will be passing out and hopefully, soon our stockpile fo food will be back up and able to pass out food to those who are hungry.

We have had a couple bad years due to my medical conditions and just recently had surgery to have a pacemaker for my bladder put in, but my faith is bigger than a mustard seed to see Hope Station thrive this year. I have books that have been published and more that will be soon that will create a residual income for Hope Station until more areas of funding begin to come in.

My research for grants has been slow but I expect some good news to come in once we get the plans for the new program set in concrete. I will be picking up some more supplies like socks to hand out and gathering things together to make February our start date for this year with services again.

We are also going to incorporate Tennessee into our plans this year as well. There are many all across America who are hungry, cold, and unemployed who need assistance and not a handout. We are going to be that hand up to assist those in helping themselves in gaining their self-sufficiency. We are not going to turn anyone down who is hungry, but we are going to put in the initiative to help people get back to work and on their feet.

Thinking of Those Sleeping in the Cold

It is supposed to be a Merry Christmas, but I can't help but think about those still sleeping out in the cold and most of them alone without family. I know a lot of them are out there by choice but a lot have no other choices to choose from. It saddens me on this day in particular because we are so busy sending money, clothing, and blankets overseas that we forget about the ones we have suffering here in our own backyards.

Everyone says that they are homeless because of drugs or alcohol, but that is mostly a coping mechanism to being out there in the streets. I was out there for two decades and no one wanted to give me a hand up because all they saw was a prostitute with a drug problem. One man took a chance on me and I have now been clean and street free for a decade now.

I have begun working on a campaign to help those wanting a better life off of the streets. It will take some time putting it together but I have begun the planning process before seeking the funding for it. I need to have all the ducks in a row before seeking funders and volunteers for the project. I am looking positively at it and that it will work to help many.

Should anyone care to help us out with funding now can make a donation on the site itself. We are in need of food and warm blankets for the homeless if you want to drop them by the Georgia address. Well, it is time to get things going and I am running a little late. You can also help out by going to brandidpayne.com and buying one of my books which a percentage of the royalties goes to Hope Station USA.

Well, have a Merry Christmas and please remember those still living out in the cold. Take care.

Running My Ads Today

Even though I cannot do too much due to wearing a temporary pacemaker for my bladder which limits my movements today, I am going to be running ads for donations and getting my table lists built as well as putting our next program plan together to assist those affected by homelessness to regain their self-sufficiency.

I am getting excited about the new things we are doing plus, getting more books published to help out with residual income for Hope Station. Things are looking more positive. I have a full day of research and making plans but everything will move forward.

I just wanted to give everyone an update on the progress of Hope Station and we are hopeful that donations begin coming in. We are in need of food, blankets, and money to help with gas for the vehicle to be able to deliver items and things needed to the homeless.

This will be a short post, but updating on our progress. Have a wonderful day and be blessed. Keep those sleeping out in the streets and cold in your prayers. Take care.

Another Wonderful Day

Good morning everyone. I hope that everyone sleeping outdoors is staying warm and safe. My thoughts and prayers are out there with you. Today is going to be another busy day for me as far as writing goes and planning for the new year for Hope Station USA.

I will be posting here almost every day to keep everyone informed of the progress we are making. Due to health conditions which are finally getting under control, we have had a few slow and unproductive years. We were out feeding the homeless last year and we look forward to moving forward this next year.

I am looking into setting up tables to collect food and monetary donations to assist us in our efforts. Soon we will be paying all the registration fees for the next year and going out on the road to different areas between Florida, Georgia, and adding Tennessee. We have a reliable vehicle to make the journies and are looking into getting a bus or van to be able to transport food and hygiene products out to the homeless with our logo on the sides.

The video on this site was taken last year when we went to Atlanta to help the homeless and this coming year we are going to be going around to all three states helping where we can. We just need our communities support to aid us in our efforts of ending hunger and homelessness.

Well, I need to finish this up for now because I need to get things done and ready. I hope everyone has a wonderful day and we hope to see those of you living in the streets soon to help. Take care.

Just An Update

Good morning everyone. First off I would like to send my prayers and thoughts out to those who are sleeping outside during these cold temperatures. It is not right that an American should have to sleep outdoors. We are not a third world country.

I am just giving a status update on everything going on. The plans have been started and are being worked on to create a new program for the homeless to become self-sufficient. Ads are being run today asking for donations of land or buildings to assist them in getting back on their feet and becoming a productive part of society.

Once some other things get completed, we will be back to work on these plans and trying to get everything situated for the new year. We are still looking for monetary donations to come in to help with buying food and blankets to pass out during the cold winter months. We have a few but are in need of more. Temperatures drop down to freezing here and I know that the shelters are full.

If anyone could send in donation it would help greatly. We have plenty of hygiene products but need food and money to buy more food. All donations can be mailed to the address on the site or click the donation link to use a card or PayPal account.

Well, we need to get back to work and need your prayers and thoughts for the homeless during these winter months and also throughout the years as we help more and more come off the streets. Please pray for our new program that will help many more get on their feet. Take care.

Planning Before Researching

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone is doing good today and staying warm. Today, I will be making the plans for a new program that will assist those wanting to become self-sufficient. I have so many ideas and we are going to sit down and see what we can do to make it happen.

There are many things to consider and drawings to create to come up with the best idea. After creating the plan and getting it down on paper so that everyone understands what we are looking for, then I will begin researching for funding to help make it happen.

We are looking for a better new year with things beginning and moving from state to state. We will be working with three states but will need to create this plan in one state first. We do understand that it will be a trial and error at the beginning, but our hopes are greater than the failures.

It will be a tedious startup but we can make this happen. I will keep updating everyone on our progress and eventually once everything is in order, we will share the program idea with you. We need everyone to assist us in creating this plan as well.

Anyone who wishes to donate to our program can do so on this website or by calling our phone number and speaking with me directly. We are hoping to have this plan in effect and up and running by the end of 2019 depending on how many volunteers decide to help us.

We are currently accepting donations of food and blankets for the homeless individuals who are sleeping outside in the freezing weather. Donations can be made in monetary values or by delivering the items at our current location in Georgia.

I want to wish everyone a blessed day and look forward to more updates. God bless you and take care.

Things Are Moving Slowly Right Now

2018 was supposed to be Hope Station USA's year to come up, but finances and medical conditions have thrown monkey wrenches into the mix every time I turn around. Now that I am getting healthier and having my medical needs addressed, I am working to get things going for 2019.

No one ever said that it would be easy and with so much going against the homeless, they make it nearly impossible for small grass root organizations to come up and really do some good. I have been doing some checking and researching things to do to bring her back up.

I now have a reliable vehicle that can make the trips to Florida to fundraise and feed the homeless it is just getting the funds together to get there. Book sales have been slow because Summer is a slow time for book sales anyway, but I am expecting it to pick up soon where a quarter of my book royalties go back into Hope Station to give her a residual income.

Foundations and grants have been changing so much to cater to hospitals and education, that it seems that everyone forgot about the homeless out there trying to survive in the elements. I will never forget about them because I was once out there with them and I know how cold it can be or how unsafe it can be.

My one wish is for everyone to step up and adopt a homeless person to help them become self-sufficient again. At least help us to help them where they can see where their donations are going. I have been doing my very best to try and pick things up and get the funding that we need to help and maintain, but people just don't seem to care anymore.

Everyone is having a hard time in our economy, but it only takes one dollar to help someone. If everyone in the world gave up one dollar we would not have a homeless problem. I do have an idea for a program to help the homeless get back on their feet and need to do some more research on it to make it happen.

I am getting excited for a new year to happen because this year has gone by so fast that it has made people's heads spin. Along with book writing, which takes a lot of my time, and putting things together for the Hope Station, this next year should be a good one.

I just need more proof that we are servicing the homeless to gain more funding. It will happen and I have faith that God has made a way for me to help them. I just need everyone's help to take the steps needed. So, for now, send your prayers that Hope Station will come back to life for us and for them next year. God Bless!
