THE LES SANS-ABRI PROJECT
BUSINESS PLAN
Saturday, March 01, 2008
While doing the research for this business report I found that these numbers to be accurate and true to the best of my knowledge. The financial situation of The Les Sans-Abri Project is currently at a deficit. The utmost concern of this mission is the welfare of the homeless here in Lafayette, Louisiana. “In Louisiana alone there is 19.2% of the state who is homeless or living below poverty. That is 1/3 of the population.” According to the Census Bureau web site the numbers are staggering. (“http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/22000.html”)(see foot note) With rent, loan interest rates (mortgages), and normal everyday cost of living (hygiene products and food) being so high. Employers are not keeping up with the cost of living standard here in Louisiana. More and more people are forced to the streets because they simply cannot pay their rent and feed their families. Due to this society’s financial regression (resulting from the Katrina catastrophe) there has been an influx of men, women, and children in our community who are suffering as a result of this. Just recently we took in a young man who is married with a child. He is homeless for his wife to have a place to stay because there is no work where he lives; he comes to the city from the country to work and sends his wife home the money. He is a good man with a great spirit working seven days a week to support his family.
The organization members are as follows: Phillip Cordero (founder), Gary Sloate (spokes person), and Nadine Andersen (administrator). We are arranging a ministry to provide food for the homeless, along with logging. The administrator has collected people to fill the positions required for the body of this movement to be completed.
The current events will take place on or about May 3rd 2008. Where we will sell plate lunches, sell t-shirts and have a band. In a central location where for the people who this benefit is for will be able to get to. This is a fund raiser for the sole purpose of feeding and later down the road eventually housing these people also. We have designed a program to help people transition back into society as active members of the same. Our goals are to keep this event going at least once a month. Saving monies collected in the “Les Sans-Abri” Fund where the monies will be kept until it is time to start building from the funds. The new building we will build will be as big as a warehouse with 3 floors. The first floor will have the place to get medical attention, eat and recreation; the second floor will be the residents of the facility as will the third floor. This project will create jobs for the less fortunate and house the homeless. Most importantly are the women and children here in Louisiana. I have researched and it saddened me to see there was no “real” help for them here in Louisiana. While doing my research I started to cry and I said a prayer. I cannot believe that here in the land of the free this is still going on. But it is and we all need to get together and stop this mediocrity.
Although your support will be used for launch this first seminal funding event all proceeds will be used to continue the efforts of aiding Les Sans-Abri project. We have counted the costs in what it takes to meet these requirements. Any money that is left over from your support will go directly into the fund that we have set up for the objective. There will be ongoing financial funds coming into the mission through regular fund raisers, grants, and the church who is sponsoring us. We believe that this is God’s will. We also understand not everyone believes this way and we are opened to everyone who needs our help.

I have cited a few websites for your viewing to allow you to see what I have found during the research of this project. Your sponsorship is greatly needed and appreciated.
Thank you for your time and cooperation in this matter!

Sincerely,

Nadine Andersen (Legal Assistant)

“New Orleans suffering from rental shortage
Monday, December 3, 2007, before, Hurricane Katrina, renters comprised more than half of New Orleans' population. The New York Times says despite this statistic, there has been little attention paid to reviving the rental home and apartment market. That’s led to widespread blight in key middle and working class neighborhoods, and led to a doubling of the city's homeless population. “FEMA and the federal bureaucracy seem oblivious to the fact that virtually no new affordable rental housing has yet appeared in New Orleans to replace what was lost,” said Martha J. Kegel, executive director of Unity of Greater New Orleans, a coalition of groups that help the homeless.

Dear Fellow Second Life Neighbor

When I first came to Secondlife I had no idea that my life would change the way it has. I have met some really great people here in SL and I plan on meeting more great people. Even though I have been here for a little more then a year. I feel as though some of the friendships I had made here with some of you have been very special and I want to thank you all for making my SL experience as cherishing and memorable as it has been. As I continue this Secondlife Journey I pray to continue finding many new and wonderful people who not only will become a part of my life but also for me to be a better part of yours also.

As we end the year a New Year will begin and with that new and old friendships alike will come together as one.

On February 8th, 9th, and 10th, we are having a benefit for a group named SLNA (Second Life Narcotics Anonymous) Unity is the key to staying clean for all addicts. In Second Life there is unity. The idea for this group sprang from an incident of a real life experience.

I am a recovering addict who had a boyfriend with a drug problem. Not only did he have a drug problem, but he was also blind. Being disabled he found it hard to go to a meeting and feel a "part of" as the Narcotics Anonymous literature clearly states; we are united together and our common welfare should come first. The most important person at any meeting is the new comer, for we can only keep what we have by giving it away". When a person who is "different" walks into any public gathering they are watched stared at like there is something wrong with them.... OR... they are ignored, as if they aren't there at all. My ex-boyfriend was made to feel just like that in a few meetings which kept him from taking full advantage of the program that we offer. In February of 2007 he died of a drug overdose.

I decided to form a group online in secondlife for the people who can not or will not get out and go to a meeting. For people with disabilities. We have voice chat now. Blind and wheel chair bound people are welcomed alike. In SL we are all 23 years old and we are all walking, talking and having a great time who ever we are and what ever we do.

The "only" requirement for membership into this group is the the desire to stay clean. The rest will follow. It is only by God's grace for me I am alive today and clean. I have 7 1/2 years clean. I am not proud of where I came from. My addiction took me to places that aren't speakable. But non the less. I am who I am and I have my own story. Someone once told me; "stick around a while and you WILL hear your story". That statement continues to come true as long as I continue to make regular meetings and not only did I hear my story I have shared it and gave that same hope to someone else who has my story.

Now, I would like to take the time to invite you to my benefit in world. You will be so happy you came to this event. We will be having an auction, bands, live artists and a fashion show also. Your support is just to show up. The rest will take care of itself. The purpose for this benefit is to be able to have a meeting place for other addicts who want to recover. Our goal is to raise enough money to buy a sim and have the maintenance fees paid for at least 6 months. That will give us time to build our community. This sim will be ran by Recovering addicts only. We will have stores and shops there to raise money on a daily basis for our cost of living in SL. Anyone can come to our sim to shop. And let's face it in America alone ever single family has been plagued with addiction in some way. At least one person in every family in America alone has an addict. The choice to do something about it is completely our own.

God Bless you and I pray your life is full of blessings.

Sincerely

LadyRose Luna
Because my IM's are being capped I have an email LadyRoseLuna@aol.com

ps We can still use some donations for the auction and events that are lined up for this benefit.........if you are an entertainer, creator, musician designer of secondlife We would really appreciate it if you can donate some thing to the benefit. This is a three day event. I would appreciate and be honored to have you be a part of this event. Thank you so much!

LOVE ON THE ROCKS! OR IS LOVE ROCKS?

ANYWAY, I THOUGHT I HAD MET MY ONE AND ONLY. TO SOON REALIZE THAT HE WAS JUST PLAYING A GAME WITH ME. I AM FROM THE STREETS! I AM ALSO ONE PERSON WHO HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND HOW EASY IT IS TO SLIP BACK INTO THE OL'ATTITUDE. THAT KIND OF THINKING IS ONLY GOING TO TAKE ME BACK OUT TO THE STREETS USING DRUGS AGAIN AND SELLING THEM AS WELL. I DON'T WANT THAT KIND OF LIFE. I WAS NOT BORN TO LIVE THAT WAY. I REFUSE TO LET ANYONE PERSON DRAG ME DOWN TO THAT AGAIN.

Have a safe and happy New Year!

2005-12-27T13:23:00.000-06:00

Here is wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year! I pray that the year 2006 will bring you joy, love, prosperity, and forgiveness.

I have made a huge decision this week....

2005-11-16T09:43:00.000-06:00

On my Birthday today I made my decision to find my soul-mate.

I know that you are thinking that if it is fate then why look. Well, my friend, fate doesn't come knockin on our doors. The only way that we have to find out if fate is in our corner or not is to go out and look for it. AND --- Since, I have no life except for a few minutes on my pc outside of work I have no life. I need to find some way to find the person I was met to be with for the rest of my life. I know that he is out there somewhere and where I don't know. I will look to the end of the earth to find him. I am not getting any younger. I am by no means no trophey girl. I have many flaws. I am however very clean and well read. I am a trophey in better part of the word though. I have made some seriously wrong choices in life and I have taken lifes lesson's to heart. I made mistakes and paid the consequences for every action I have acted on.

Now, I am a different kind of person. One who has been a recovering addict and one who had taken a vow of abstenance for the first three and half years of recovery. Now, if you don't know what that means then one day if we meet I will explain it all to you. Promise!

I know that some of you may think well what is it that this woman did so wrong and why is she confessing to what ever it is that she did? What I did was I chose to be with the wrong men in my life. I am a surviver of abuse and I have finally evolved from that kind of personality. I have come to the realization that I am so worth being loved and cared for. I also believe in a entity greater then me (human) who loves me to the end and that He alone will decide my fate.

Fate! What a word! I know my fate lies in the balance of this great entity. I know that my Father won't forsake his own and that he will reunite us soon.

I have written to you all about the angry blind man whom I was taken care of and the verbal abuse that I had to endure. Well, the last straw was Thursday morning May 12, 2005. I couldn't take it anymore and I decided to start with the words back. I still don't understand why he treated me like that. I always kissed his ass and jealous of my children. He called my daughter a parasite. Who calls someone's child a parasite? That is so low! F**ken sick! Real sick! He has some issues. Serious serious problems. I am so sick to my stomach over it.

So as of yesterday May r the term paper, seems that groupmates have already completed their parts. :P
Obviously, I am in need of fresh air. My heart beat slowed down recently.
Many work comes.

I am a very tired woman tonight. I am turning in once I get this out to you. I have a blind ol'man who is very angry. I couldn't go to school yesterday because he decided to pick a fight with me and told me that he was going to poison my ferret while I was out. I am so tired of the bulls**t. I let him know yesterday that he is walking on thin ice with me and that it won't be long now before I am out of this spot.

A little shop of artistic values for mom.

You know I am a person who used to draw and write all the time. I put that aside for stupid things and I feel that I should start to share my talent with the world. I feel that I should be an inspiration for someone who wants to do something but doesn't know how to. I want to make a difference in peoples lives today.

I know that I have made mistakes in my life. Some of the decisions that I have made in the past have not been the right decisions and I have suffered and paid my dues for every reaction to my actions.

I know that life is very hard to do the right thing and I am telling you that you don't have to live a life that is not morally correct or that even goes agianst your sense of judgement.

Beleive me I know how much easier it is to say; "f**k it!" But that is not the right way to go.

I will be taken around 7 classes this semester! WoW! That is alot! Even the Dean doesn't want to let me take that many classes. It's all about the money. I am convinced that they need the money. But why from me? I am struggling as it is! I know to pray about it. I still ask why. If I never asked why and just went around ablivion to everything then I am a real stupid person! I learned a long time ago to ask questions. The more you ask the more you will find out.

Today is Saturday the 2nd day of April. I am going to a concert tonight and I am going to have a fun time. It is Zakk Wylde who is the singer of Black Label Society. I love them! He wrote for Ozzy and even did backup for him too. I will be writing a review not here tho I will be writing a review on mymusic.com. you can find me there as ladyrose too. I need help with my college monies I don't like asking this but I am going to need to pay at lease 16,000.00 sum odd dollars this semester and I don't have any other options but to ask if you can help with a simple five dollar donation. It is going directly to school. Well, as I have stated in past blogs what you do comes back three fold whether good or bad.

Your prayers are always heard!

Dalai Lama Quote of the Week

It is not good to begin many different works, saying 'This looks good; that looks good', touching this, touching that, and not succeeding in any of them. If you do not generate great desires but aim at what is fitting, you can actualise the corresponding potencies and become an expert in that. With success, the power or imprint of that practice is generated.

-- H.H. the Dalai Lama from Tantra in Tibet, published by Snow Lion Publications

Let's talk angels!

2005-03-31T12:16:00.000-06:00

It was Good Friday, I went for a ride with my best-friend to Rutherford which is at least 50 miles up-north from where I live.

When we get there she tells me I have to find my way home. So, I get on the phone with NJ Transit,-they handle the train and bus schedules- I was informed by the operater that it would be better if I were to take the bus to the train. Well, I get on the bus, and I am listening to my ipod. A nice ride to the train station, it took about 40 minutes. When I get there and exit the bus I like to walk around the perimeter of the building. I usually go in to the side door. I am approached by a man who is built like a linebacker. He asks me for 35 cents and I can see sincerity in his eyes. I know that I have to reach into my purse to get out the money and so I tell him; "I will do you one more; I will give you a dollar", as I pull out my wallet. I give him the crispiest dollar I can find. He then thanks me I ablidge and we turn and walk away from each other. But, then something tells me to let him know it is the angels to kiss it to God. I turn around and shout it at him he kisses it to God and I smile as I open the door to andenter the building. It is on my mind and I have been praying to God and He has let me know he is there in several people or things that happen during the course of the week. I am not very financially well off. I have my financial worries more so because I am in college right now and can not work full time. But, I never lose sight of who I am and where I have come from. I know what it is like to be homeless and hungry. I have been there.

I have an hour wait for the train and I get to the track where I am suppose to pick up the train. I run into two police officers and ask them if it is the train that I am suppose to take to get home and the one recgonizes me. Not from college or N.A. but, from prison. I tell him he was one of the cool "C.O.'s". I tell him what I have been doing and I have been home now for a little over a year. So, they leave.

I get on the train finally after standing around jamming to tunes for over an hour. I am prepared to pay and the conductor waves at me forget the money put it away. I am sitting next to someone who is obviously drunk. We get into a discussion about God and sins and all that.......... It is nice for someone to believe what they want to believe and I can respect what people believe in general. But, don't beat me in the head with the bible. I know the scriptures. I know all about the bible. I studied it for four years. I know God does exsist. I love God! He is my father. But, how I practice or not is non of anyones bussiness. That is how I feel.

Anyway, I get off the train and I thank the conductor and he says; "your very welcome".

I walk around the corner to the cab stand. The lady tells me to call another cab company. Then my phone rings. It's my girlfriend. She says that my boyfriend is calling her nonstop and that he is acting up again. Now, he is blind and a very angry man. He gives me a hard time, talks to my friends like they are shit and all. So, I get upset because he has blocked my number from calling and all. I have to get home asap and I start to have anxioty about it.

When I finally get here the outside light is out and both locks are on. so, I unlock the door and find him in the bed as cool as a cucumber. Very odd. I start to cry. This is how upset I get when I think I am not going to have anywhere to go. So I thought.

Anyway, he told me to stop crying and we talked. I think he is starting to realize what he really puts me through. Emotionally speaking of course. I have explained this in other blog writings before.

The other day I found three dollars. I was getting in a cab and gave it to the cab driver. I thought it was that dollar coming back to me three fold as it usually does. But, I didn't feel worthy of it at the time and gave it to the cab driver. Then two days ago I was coming home from grocery shopping- big order- needed to call a cab. I get into the cab and there was nothing on the seat. But, when I got out of the cab there was a dollar coin on the seat. I kissed it to God and put that one in my pocket.

So, Angels do exsist and you just may be entertaining one right now and don't think for a minute your actions are unseen. A greater force then you is watching you. Believe that!

I love angels! Because they are in all of us....

2005-03-31T12:13:00.000-06:00

Angels are very real..........

Well, School is out now for two weeks!

2005-03-24T20:17:00.000-06:00

So, today marks the last day of school. I have two more semesters left now and I can't wait to get done...... I am going to do it! Stay in school. But I have a plan on how I am going to do it! I am just going to triple up on classes! that is all! I did not come this far to quit now! That's it!

Happy Easter!

2005-03-24T20:15:00.000-06:00

Alright so today I have lots of Homework

2005-03-20T11:50:00.001-06:00

Well, today I devote my time to the finals that I have this week! Ha-Ha!I have so much to study for and work that I have yet to finish that has to be in by Tuesday the 24th. Oh, Joy! What a life! I have to do two more semesters. I was informed this just this week. I need to take that job over in New York. I don't have time to take another semester. Unless I transfer to NY and go to school and work there too. That is the only way I would be able to do it. I have to lift this to the powers that be and so be it if it can't be done. But first and foremost I will not get the pay I desire if I don't go for the degree. Someone help me please? I also found out that I am not going to get the grants that I need to get through this and that leaves the school to force me to pay. I have no problems with that I just need a job. Another thing is that I need my drivers lisence back and it is going to cost me over 15,000 dollars. To which I just don't have. Here in New Jersey where I live a person needs to have a wealthy job or transportation to get by.Public transpotation is hard to come by here and it is so exspensive for cabs. What should I do? I can't sign out of school and sign back in when I am financially stable. They don't work like that. I am so screwed and I can't do a damn thing about it! Once again life has taken my life over and I am stuck! I need this education so I can get my children back. If I don't follow through with this I am a waste! Wasted time and energy for what? For a set back! No way! I need to find me a better way. I am not using! That is the main objective here. I am doing right by society and I need some help. Where do I go? I have to keep my faith in God that he has the answer because I don't ever give any comments. Well, that is it for now.

Angels are beautiful

Today I saw my dad...

2005-03-16T11:18:00.000-06:00

I am just here today to say that my father is so old! I feel bad that my daughters are there all the time and not with me. They need to be here with me and going to school and doing teenager things with me. Not with their friends. I also got some books that I have been missing I got some meditation books and still didn't get my court transcripts. Yeah my court transcripts. I will be reopening a case that I will need all of my new and helpful resources for. I have been college now for almost two years.

2005-03-13T11:41:00.000-06:00

I am a mom who has just recently been given the chance to be back in my children life. I have tried countless times to be there for them and they keep thinking I am the enemy. I am not the enemy I am their mother. I love my children and I had this belief that one day we could all be together again and live happily ever after..... HA! What a crock that was. Here it is five years later and I am trying to take them out with me to places and show them the affection that we were deprived of all these years. I just want to take them and put them into me.... I love them so much and I am filled with all these emotions that I keep under my skin. I want them to know how I feel and they just don't get it. I love them... I am not going to condone bullshit that I pulled in the past and they know it. I have grown out of that shit. I have evolved from the drug addict I used to be. I am not the same person I once was. Although I am very cool. I will not allow my children to behave in any ol' way! NOT!

Mind you I am far from perfect! I am not flawless! I always have that in my head and I try not to ever be too judgmental.......That is for God to do! I will not act like a drill sergeant either.
