Valentine's with the Homeless
Kenneth Robertson
On Valentine's Day 2015, a large group of Adventers joined with our regular team that serves at the Women's Homeless Initiative to throw a Candlelight Dinner for these beloved ladies. Below, you'll find pictures (click on the cover photo to see them all) and hear a few glimpses of where those who helped saw the love of God expressed. If you'd like to join the WHI team on a regular basis, contact Emily Fitzrandolph at emily@saskia.com.




























































































“I really saw love in the way the women interacted with Emily’s dog, Quincetta. It was clear that the unconditional love of a dog is powerful and the women were clearly so happy to see her, pet her, love on her. It was fun to watch! Also, it was amazing to see people working together. There was a lot of unity of purpose and vision in the group. ”
“I saw love in Pablo washing dishes with one of the women. ”
“I saw love in Ginny’s careful addressing of valentines to all the women.”
“I think all the Adventers went into the evening with enthusiasm and love. What I sensed from the women was the pleasant and upbeat conversation during the meal. I’m more comfortable giving them hugs than I used to be.”
“I saw love in [client] Cindy’s face to face loving of Quincetta. Cindy told me that all the necklaces she wears are from her street children. She has many. Her love for everyone is evident.”
“[I saw love in volunteer] Saundra’s desire to give back to those who are in the situation she was in for a couple of years. She is a lovely woman who is willing to do anything.”
