KLAMATH FALLS, OR—Being Violated by a thief who entered my home while I was sleeping and the HHH Homeless helping Homeless program
Today was a good day until I was robbed while I was sleeping. I helped a friend Victoria H Smyth get a motel room for a few days that my friends on Facebook were praying for her to get. And I sent the $65.00 that was donated to HHH Homeless helping Homeless the program I started. And I added the $40.00 I donated to the cause too. For a total of $105.00 that was sent by Western Union to Vancouver, WA.
And I get my reward in return by being robbed in my own house by a thief that came in while I was sleeping and I am a light sleeper. The reason I know someone did this is because I have a towel laid down in front of the door to keep the air from the hallway from coming in. The first thing I noticed missing was a carton of cigarettes, as it was on a shelf by the door. And at the time I was not sure how far the person came in without taking the chance of waking me up. I had opened a new pack just before I went to bed, it was gone now too. And so was my lighter. At first I couldn't figure it out. I thought I was losing my mind. I mean how could a carton of cigarettes disappear like that into thin air. Normally I keep them in the refrigerator.
I am really thankful for the three donors that helped me to help a homeless person, my friend, Victoria H Smyth get a motel room for a few days, to get her off the streets in Vancouver, WA. I wish I could have done more for her and others that are homeless right now. I am starting a list of friends who have friends that are homeless. Where they can recommend them to me, so they can be helped too. And they don't have to be in Klamath Falls, OR where I live, they can be anywhere in the USA and the program I started HHH will help them. One at a time, and one is better than none IMO.
Right now I feel so violated that someone came in my house and stole items, while I was asleep in my bedroom and I was so tired I didn't remember, but I always lock the door out of habit. I just don't get it? It has a bolt lock too. I was over tired from making the arrangements for the Western Union money to be transfered, and I had stayed up chatting with Victoria H Smyth who I was sending it to on IM.
Victoria H Smyth was going to be able to pick it up at 7AM. I went to sleep around 8:30 AM. During the early morning hours, not in the middle of the night or anything. I don't close my bedroom door when I am sleeping or at all for that matter. How I did not hear someone in my kitchen and living room area is beyond me? Lucky who ever it was did not steal my wallet too on the other side of my computer table and computer in my living room.
As I was leaving to go and replace the carton of cigarettes, I opened my door and police were in the hallway. I then approached them and caught the police that were in my building on another call. And I filed a report, then went to the store and replaced the carton of cigarettes.
Then after I returned I was getting ready to do a video about what happened. By putting one of my video cameras on a tri-pod, while I used my web cam to do the video. I then noticed the video camera was gone too. Then I went to find my cell phone and it was gone too off my desk. Good thing they did not come in any further than they did or they would have stolen my wallet too, but it was on the other side of my computer desk. I feel violated that someone came in my house and did that to me, all while I was sleeping.
Now I have to replace a video camera and a cell phone. The carton of cigarettes, easily replaced, did that already. I am thankful for the three donors that helped me to help a homeless person Victoria H Smyth get a motel room for a few days, to get her off the streets in Vancouver, WA. I wish I could have done more for her and others that are homeless right now. I am starting a list of friends who have friends that are homeless. Where they recommend them to me so they can be helped too. And they don't have to be in Klamath Falls, OR where I live, they can be anywhere in the USA and the program I started HHH will help them. One at a time, and one is better than none IMO.
I just don't get it? But I most certainly feel violated by someone who had the nerve to come in my house and steal from me while I was sleeping in my own house. This is not going to stop me, if anything it is going to make me work even harder to help other homeless people to get a motel room, even if it is only for a few days each. A few days is better than no days for them. At least they will be able to get cleaned up and sleep in a bed and watch a little TV like the rest of us do. The person could have killed me in the process and I would have never known because I would be dead. I feel even more violated, than I did at the beginning. I could have been killed.
I always lock my door. But somehow I was distracted when I was working on the HHH program I started to help homeless people get off the street. And I was setting up the Western Union money transfer and giving Victoria H Smyth the routing information numbers, so she could pick it up to pay for her room for a few days. And around 8:30 AM I finally laid down to get some rest. And I didn't check the door because I always lock it, that is what I can't figure out how I could have forgotten to lock it as I do it as a habit. Things happen for a reason I guess but it will not stop me from trying to get more donations to help other homeless people. And one bad apple in the world is not going to stop me. But yes I feel violated and could have been killed. And I am now emotionally ready to do a video about it now.
Being robbed in your own house, while you are sleeping. Could have been worse and I could have been killed just as easily when I was being violated by a thief. If that would have happened I would not have known about it because I would have been DEAD.
I am happy that I was not killed in the process. The material things can be replaced but my life can't be. I am a light sleeper and I don't why I didn't hear them during the day in the AM? But I was so tired as I had been working on my new program HHH.
And setting up the western union money transfer to help her get a motel room for at least a couple of days. From the donations I received and the ones I put into the program HHH. The person came in further than, I had originally thought, when I first reported it to the police officers, that happen to be on another call when I saw them in the hallway. And I gave them my cell number to call, if they need to call me. Then, I discovered the rest of it after I got back from buying another carton of cigarettes. That the video camera and the cell phone City of Alturas, CA
Do they have a key or did they just randomly walk down the hallway checking doors and come upon mine that may or may not been unlocked. I was finally getting some sleep after helping a homeless person get a motel room by sending the cash to her. I noticed the towel was moved inward like what would happen if the door was opened. It freaks me out right now. I mean was this random or intentional? Did it happen by accident that they just happen to check my door and it was unlocked or do they have a key? And now that they did it once.
What is stopping them from coming back and trying their luck a second time? Once again was it hap and stance or was it someone sending me a message that they can get into my apartment now? After all there are a lot of people on the Right that do not like what I write when it comes to politics. And I don't even know if it is safe to leave my apt now for any reason where they could come in now, if they have a key. I am still freaked out about the whole thing right now. And I don't get freaked out very easily.
My wallet was laying on my table where the computer is, it was not stolen, thank God. And my coat was hanging over my stand up fan, I have by the closet, as I have nowhere else to put it right now. And I can't remember if I hung it over the fan or the person did to give me another freaky message. If this person did it once, what is stopping this person from doing it twice or three times? I got lucky. The police were in the apt complex on another matter. So they took the report on it. My day is looking up from here, my luck is changing.
But, I really feel violated that they came in that far into my apartment. They stole my cell phone too. But it has a password protecting it. You know what else could have happened TODAY? They could have killed me too. And I would not have known about it because I would be DEAD NOW. And I am lucky the person did not grab my keys too. As they were on the other side of the micro wave.
Wow!

I started HHH because I have been homeless a few times in my life and I know what it like to live on the streets. I also started HHH because a friend who was a manager of Hotel I stayed at after my Mom passed away and I was sleeping in my Van. Victoria H Smyth would slide me a few days. Well, now she is homeless and so I wanted to find a way to help her and others like her. So I started HHH and thanks again for sharing.
END HOMELESSES BY GETTING A ROOF FIRST HHH
Roof First By Getting Motels First For Homeless People
We need to help get these people off the street and into warm motel rooms of their own. Roof First by Motel Rooms
Not degrading homeless shelters..
First are the funds for motel rooms.
(Most everyone have food stamps or can go to places to get food or cloths already.) First a roof, then money for deposits for their own housing and the first months rent.
Please Donate to Homeless Helping Homeless (Information listed below)
The idea is as follows:
1. The ONLY Employee's will be homeless as there will be no other paid staff, except for the homeless. Other non-paid positions will be for volunteers who are not homeless.
2. Once you are no longer homeless and have a stable housing situation of your own. Note: Homeless shelters do not count as stable housing.
3. Stable housing means you now have your own house or apartment in your name with all the utilities also in your name. Electric, Phone, Gas, Cable, etc.
4. Once you are no longer homeless and have employment else where, you are no long eligible for the program.
5. While being paid you will also have to make an effort to find housing and employment so you can leave the program as soon as you are able to.
6. These are just ideas right now and are and will be updated as time allows.
7. This is a beginning of an idea. And even I will not be paid.
8. This is a program that will be run and managed by homeless with a board of directors as a non-profit of which I will be the first Chairman and CEO until at which time the organization is up and running on it's own without any further service from me.
First are the funds for motel rooms.

“I’m cold and I’m afraid,” Mr. Neeley said, adding that he was trying to raise enough money from the bundled commuters rushing past to pay for a $45 motel room on a night that weather forecasters warned would send the Midwest into a deep freeze unlike anything even this region has seen in years.
This is why we need to do this. This is why I started Homeless Helping Homeless HHH.
These people need help damn it. Help them please!
