Ben Williams, Videographer  I have just confirmed the first non-profit in the running. Fans, meet Hope Alive, Inc. . helping homeless women and their children with the life. In partnership with the community, Hope Alive offers a transitional home and comprehensive support services to empower women and children with Christian values, dignity, and ...the skills they need to live self-sustaining lives filled with hope and a future.

Hope Alive, Inc. I just overheard a mom bragging about her drug-free & alcohol-free New Year's Eve celebration -- the first in many years. She said, "2010 is going to be the best year ever! I’m just so positive this is going to be MY year." Isn't that awesome?

Hi, seems like you guys are doing some amazing things! I've recently launched a program called "500 for Change."
Once 500 fans join my fan page I will create a video to help raise awareness for a local non-profit.
Some more details can be seen at http://rafikiwilliams.com/500forchange.h tml
Would your organization like t...o be included in the first round of voting? If the fans choose you, I will create a short video highlighting what your organization does. I will then post it to my page/youtube/twitter accounts to help raise awareness and support for your cause.
Let me know if you are interested.

Once I reach 150 fans, I will create a poll listing 5 local non-profits which are in need of video production services to get the word out about what they are doing. You as a fan, will then be able to vote on which non-profit I will make a video for.

A Haven of Hope for Homeless Women and Children

Hope Alive, Inc. is asking for your prayers... Our ten month old resident took his very first steps just last week, but now he has pneumonia and is in the hospital. Please pray for quick healing, wise doctors, compassionate nurses and peace for his mom and grandma as they wait patiently for test results.

Hope Alive, Inc. Five of our moms are finishing up their fall semesters at Frederick Community College. Please pray for them as they juggle final exams with being good moms and preparing for the Christ child!
