Angels In Disquise

I have always believed in angels but sometimes there are angels in disguise.
I met Charles about 2 years ago in my chatroom www.SoulfulEncounters.com. I instinctly knew that he must be housebound and very lonely and so I made him chat monitor. He came to me asking if I would help him one day. He had been robbed and he told me about his living conditions. Charles has cerebral palsy, in a wheelchair, and unable to go to lock his door at the bottom of the stairs. He seldom saw the outdoors and his meagre meal of once a day was hardly enough to sustain a child, yet he was 41.
I tried very hard to bring help to him but failed everytime. Noone usually wants to hear about disabled persons. A kind member, Bob from Michigan tried to help as well calling in the Salvation Army. They did their best to help but this avenue came to a dead end as well. Finally, the right phone call brought in Faithful Friends and with an angel called Jody to head the organizing ..Charles was now safe and sound living downstairs in a clean and safe enviroment. I am not quite ready to tell the extent of this story but please stay tuned and you will come to know how the City Of Marion, Indiana saved a disabled person with cerebral palsy.

SOULFUL GOES TELEVISION YET AGAIN! AND RADIO TOO!

November 14, Louise Maxwell founder of Soulful Encounters made it onto Nite Lite Live..and she did an all nighter with host David Kwon answering phone calls from people who were depressed and were searching for some help. It had a theme "Do You Ever Think About The Disabled". It was a very inspirational nite with disabled persons or relatives of the disabled calling in. Also in November two Soulful Encounter's members met for the first time with cameras following them. Soulful Encounters used this on Dating 201 by Rogers in Toronto, Ontario.
Soulful Encounters made it onto three radio stations in the United States as well. So we are slowly but surely gaining momentum. Let us see what happens next. Stay tuned!
