A service like the following would have been very helpful when I was homeless. I had to convince someone to act as my “residence” and answering service. It was a crucial part in finding stable work. In fact, I believe it helped me land my job at Sears. The rest is, as they say, history.

Community Voice Mail provides voicemail for those in need. It’s inspiring.

There’s free email, so why not free voice mail? Especially for those that need it most.

Another part of my success was making sure I always had transportation – a monthly SEPTA transpass. It was a major expense that was very much worth it. You never knew if there was a job opportunity someplace, and having the transpass insured I had a way to get there, along with, for a period of time once, a place to sleep. It would be a worthy effort make available transpasses for those who need them.
