CHARITAY

For my paper, I'm writing about a homeless shelter in inner city Indianapolis called the Dayspring Center. I am directly linked to this shelter because for about 5 years, my mom worked there, and I spent a lot of time volunteering there, as well as simply playing with the other kids my age that lived there. I spent a lot of time there growing up, so it's a place that I find to be special and very helpful to many families who have been put into bad situations. I've seen homelessness and how most of the time, it's actually not the persons own fault. Homelessness for many people is a thing that cannot be avoided. It makes people mentally and physically damaged and effects millions and millions of people. The Dayspring Center works extremely hard for its residents trying to put them back into employment, permanent housing, and school.
For this essay, I want to write how Dayspring helps out the people who live there, and how Dayspring sets people up for when they leave after 90 days. I think that what they do is invaluable to the society, and can save thousands of people from hunger, poverty, and even sickness. Keeping people off the street reduces death rates, crime, and trash, and that's what Dayspring does. Dayspring doesn't just do it for the present, they also work hard to try and reduce homelessness for the future, and to keep it that way.
