Ashley Hileman I am also a recovering addict. My twin brother was an addict. He passed away while I was in prison. I did 12 years. 3 years before I came home, my brother went missing. He had called the cops and said someone was chasing him. The phone hung up and that was the last conversation he had made. They searched for him twice in 2 1/2 years!!! I all along knew I was going to find him. I ended up coming home and the detective gave me the copy of the location of my brothers phone last know location. Well my moms ex came with me. I searched roughly 45 minutes and found his remains! Me and him were best friends. Much darkness came in my life but I chose not to go the wrong way. I’m glad you and your boyfriend have been sober such a long time that is a great accomplishment!!! Thank you

If that isn’t the truth!!! If people would just truly read the words and honestly reflect on them. And remember the time when you could walk down the street and feel safe and your neighbors were your friends and you would do anything you could for them and any other American for that matter. Then they might feel what we felt back when it meant something. Our country is in a bad place. I’m not trying to spread fear but if we just all say we are just one person or I can’t make a change then it will just happen! Start telling everyone you know the things you believe and what might help. Like Jason said we need to focus on the solution. So it begins with you!!!! Let’s stand for good!!!! I love each and everyone of you no matter your beliefs

At the current time I have a place but my mom doesn’t and my oldest sister and 2 younger kids have been living an a motel for years. My mom had her husband kick her out a few years back and she has been struggling ever since. We all know how easy it can be to ruin your credit. So we have been looking for a place that will accept us and hopefully it’s a place that is safe and comfortable. With nice people! Yes, I have seen that North Carolina was hit hard and I want to come there and help. It’s just hard when you know your a good hard working person and your family deserves a break and for some reason it’s not coming. I also know that it could be a lesson or training in my life story for what’s to come. But in the moment it can bring me down. I always try to see both sides to things. So I know that from the outside not knowing me and all the wrong that seems to be in our world at the moment, that it can be hard for others to put themselves in others shoes. I want to just follow my purpose. So wherever that leads me I’ll be happy!!!!! Thanks

Yes sounds about right. I believe whatever these things are like the remote areas! I just wish we could get a little more knowledge on the matter

Just be yourself. Trust me I know how it is. I’ve been single for over 15 years. But we have to remember we have to love ourselves first and know we are worth being loved. So that’s the best advice I can give

Ashley Hileman thank you for doing that!!!

It begins with us.

Why aren’t we screaming at the top of our lungs in order to bring more awareness to these situations???? This hits home for me due to the fact my mom is homeless at the moment and not because she’s a bum!!! There are so many good people in similar circumstances!!! And all the elites, rich, media, big business, never bring up these issues. Why? Because they want us to just keep running in their rat race and buying their products to pad their pockets! When we have to worry about can we eat or put gas in the car, we get stuck in our stress and that keeps our attention from solutions. We have to see past this and come up with answers and stop letting them trick us. They are stealing our energy and it has to come to a stop!!! I believe this post should have thousands of likes and comments. We need to be the beginning of fixing this problem. If we all believe we are all part of each other how can we ignore what’s happening to us???? Please family let’s throw some ideas out there

I agree fully. But we can’t let what we have been fed as truth influence what the truth really is! You have to do that yourself. You can just sit back and examine people and the feelings you get and more than likely tell if they are on the right path. I grew up in a Christian household and felt that was the only truth. But much of those feelings were placed in me at a young age and that explains what the reason for most of us believing a certain narrative in our lives. How many churches do you see truly helping Gods people? I mean really helping? How many Christians do you see go to church one day and change the remaining 6 days? We lead by example. That’s what Jesus tried to do. And we as humans in my opinion haven’t really done a good job at mimicking what he showed us. So if we are willing to die for what we believe to be the truth don’t you think we should take the time to make sure we are not following a false belief?

You are an example of hard work and dedication! With the foundation built on love. This has to be true because in light of the current state of this world and all these fake media pushing negativity it would’ve been easy to tell yourself that this is too big of a battle. I have an idea of how we might be able to grow together in the future. What if like the ambassador program we started forming local teams and maybe we could all get together via zoom and have like group chats together across the world like once a month or so? Just an idea. I think if we could come up with some things that can connect us it will help this thing grow! I know life is busy and can be hectic but we need help from one another to recharge our energy. I’m here to help in anyway possible. Thanks for all yall do

Yes! All of us should take time to think about others and wish the best for them. Also if possible to invest our time to help in anyway possible. If we can manage to get more people involved in positive thinking we will begin to see the change of our world!
