For anyone who does not know a friend and I had a looooong time dream of giving back and helping others. There are so many groups out there that are basically clearing houses for charities and keep “most” of the monies for “admin” fees.
After years of prep work and taking the steps and drawing up the plans, our vision is finally coming true. We have started a charity to assist homeless persons by utilizing public education classes to teach that homelessness is a state of mind that can be changed by internalizing success. Basically a mentoring program to give back the mindset that you can do anything you choose to overcome any obstacle.
We are not a drug and alcohol rehab, we have no affiliations with religion or politics. Our initial phase is to offer free classes to homeless, or anyone who would like to participate on:
*SOS session
- Informal meet and greet
- Introduction
- Powerpoint1
- Paperwork
- Q & A
- Contract with yourself
- Sandwiches
Positive Thinking Session
- Affirmations - (Words have meanings)
- Laws Of Attraction
- Self Image3 - Who do you see the instructor as, what animal. Get the individual to see who they are. Draw a picture
- Importance of laughter
- Power of Now
- Excuse generation
With other “sessions” based around these Main course materials
addiction
parenting
confidence
financial advice
goal setting
Health
Communication
Each session will be autonomous of the other, with each point in the session being a separate meeting autonomous in itself. This way if you miss one you do not have to wait till the start of the next class to proceed. We will be serving food and beverages at the end of each session.
All work that is being done is strictly volunteer and we already have some facilities set aside to teach in. Nobody is making any money and we pledge to utilize every dime for actual resources.
The charities name is Beer and a Condom. Yes, we absolutely realize its a funny name but we are looking to tap into a market of individuals who are not looking to be associated with clearing houses, religions or politics. We will leave that for others, but we are unpretentious and the name has meaning which can be found on our website (still under construction)

Homelessness does not discriminate and can effect anyone at anytime. Many of you will not know this but I spent some time on the street sleeping on park benches in the city. It was the most difficult time of my life and the only way I ever got through it was changing my thoughts. Using the steps I learned, and countless others we have designed a series of sessions that have proven successful to give back that knowledge to the world.
Please help if you can. Are work is volunteer and is not paid. According to IRS law we are tax deductible up to $5000 while preparing and filing our 501(c)3 therefore receipts are available for donations. We have the framework, now we need your assistance.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Androtics or my job. Actually when I came to work with Jasmin I realized that dreams and visions can come true with perseverance and sweat. I’ve personally spent close to $6000 already making this happen. I want to show my appreciation for everything Jasmin has taught me and how much she has inspired me by herself being one of the kindest, most giving person I have ever met. I only hope I can make her proud.
If you can help please let me know.
