Giving Voice and Visibility to Homeless Children and Youth
I'd like to introduce you to Charlie, 'cuz he's just so damned cute!
but I'd especially like to introduce you to Diane Nilan, who helped author "Charlie's Law" in Illinois, later to be included in the federal "No Child Left Behind Act".
Diane is my good friend and creator and driving force behind the organization Hear US "Giving Voice and Visibility to Homeless Children and Youth". Diane has, for many years, been a relentless advocate and champion for the homeless, especially families and children. She travels the country helping local government agencies and grassroots advocacy organizations find new ways to provide the services the homeless so desperately need. She has been instrumental in changing laws, both locally and nationally, and even our federal congress has turned to her for her experience and compassionate advice.
Take a few moments to visit the Hear US website HERE. Learn a bit of the wonderful work Diane does and see if there's room in your heart to borrow a little of the endless compassion Diane has to offer. Oh, and help her out if you can.

It's Colonel Tooey"s fault. In 1938 he released six rhesus macaques onto a small island within what is now the state park. The animals are breeding rapidly, and a new study estimates that the monkey population will double by 2022 unless state agencies take steps to control it. here
