John Schiermeier is feeding the homeless with his bus conversion and needs your help in order to continue on Patreon. John and his wife Shelia have come up with a great, novel idea. The couple is trying to raise enough money to buy a bus or van to feed the homeless. Consider supporting the campaign here:

John knows all about homelessness, he himself, was homeless at one time. That’s why John and his wife Shelia want to do something about the issue today with their converted bus/van. John has tried to make a go at getting enough funds with publishing books on Amazon, blog, vblog, and now Patreon as well. Hopefully something will stick, Patreon looks like a good option for what they are trying to accomplish. The goal is to get consistent money coming in to make feeding the homeless possible.

Long Term Goals

The long term goal is to of course convent the bus or van into a RV and then travel around the United States feeding the homeless. The title of this campaign according to John and Shelia will be “Feeding America one meal at a time” with the tagline “Help an ex-trucker and his wife convert a school bus to bring meals to the homeless across the US. Hope is just one foot forward.”

The Story

“As a trucker, my wife and I have been all over America and experienced everything it has to offer. We’ve seen wonderful attractions and met amazing people, but we’ve also seen the suffering of many individuals and families who would benefit greatly just from having a single warm meal to fill their stomachs and give them hope. It’s time for us to do more. We’re heading back on the road, only this time it’s in a converted school bus, which we’ll use to hand out meals to those in need all across America.”

The Need

I see it here in my city. The homelessness problem in Seattle is huge. There are tents everywhere. The world needs more people like this couple. Yes, city governments and non-profits can do a lot, but lets not forget we (Individuals) can help too. It’s better to take action, go into the arena, than to stay on the sidelines.
