                  This section is the heart and soul of Homeful.org. 
                    Providing food, clothing and shelter are all important and 
                    necessary in alleviating the difficulties of homelessness, 
                    but in the wealthiest society in the world, these conditions 
                    are more often just symptoms of a deeper problem. 
                  Oftentimes, the greatest gift we can give is 
                    the simple gift of listening - to take the time to simply 
                    be present with another person and to hear what it is that 
                    they have to say. In this space, not only is it possible that 
                    we might catch a glimpse of some of the deeper issues, but 
                    it's also likely that in this same very process, we might 
                    discover a piece of our own deeper humanity. 
                  In this section, volunteer writers have taken 
                    the step of meeting up with a homeless person to listen to 
                    their stories, and are sharing them with us. If you are interested 
                    in becoming a writer, please contact 
                    us.
