I remember my Mom telling me, when I was little, that homeless people were mostly men. But organizations like the UN say that more women then men live in poverty. So when I glanced at a kid‘s book and saw that it was about the first shelter for women, that was OPENED IN 1974. I had to pick it up. We visited the moon before we opened a shelter for women. I‘m going to need more books about Kip Tiernan, if anyone can rec them.

“Never forget that charity is scraps from the table and justice is a place at the table. Charity is giving to others what belongs to you. Justice is giving to others what belongs to them.” Kip Tiernan
