I have rarely had true hard times in my life until I moved to Memphis. I had plans that failed, so…read morein desperation I had to reach out for help. That is when the name Jesse Thrower was change my life for the better. I had no where to turn and no prospects. I was directed to 600 Poplar to begin finding services. This man was patient, he had kind words of encouragement, he made me laugh and all in all was able to make me believe it was going to turn out alright in the end. So fast forward a couple years, I am a success story. I have even been able to return the favors he bestowed to me by donating back. He is a wonderful, proper, caring individual. His guidance and insight is needed desperately when the chips are down. He never sugar-coats anything. But that man, Mr. Jesse is a God-send. Without him, so many more would be less than they are now. He keeps tabs on his "kids". He cares. It is a beautiful thing when he cares like a father. He cares when no one else does. I have been to the other mission. There was no help. All the help I received was from 600 Poplar. Mr. Jesse is in charge for a reason. He is the best to help you out to see long term how to fix the problems you are in. You do have to work but he will help you if you put in the effort. God bless him always and keep him safe! We need leaders like him!

He clothes the poor and checks on his people whom others have forgotten or care to look the other way at. He tries to treat the ones he is helping with dignity and a caring to help them become stable and independent. The goal is to be a place to rebuild but to fully heal on your own ad to be reintroduced back into the world. He is wonderful and tries hard to be respectful. A gentle giant. If you work with him, he will try to help you to become what you need to become. It is up to you what you become of but he has blessings of clothing donations and whatever the public can bring. He sees the need and tries to balance the donations to needs. the goal is to become self-sufficient so you must go in thinking about your own personal goals and how to obtain them. He helps but you need to start your life quickly. Poverty knows no color, it knows no race and it burdens even the best of us. When you can finally look past yourself and find the happiness of helping your fellow man again, then you are truly saved again and healing. It is hard but look around and see the bigger need of working together and then all this will end and you will be successful again.

St. Jude Research Hospital is actually located in Memphis, Tennessee, but as it is a hospital that…read morehelps children with cancer and catastrophic diseases, it has national impact. It doesn't charge its patients a single penny for its assistance, and so it relies on donors for it to be able to complete its mission, to save children's lives. There is a lot you can do to be involved with this organization, to help it complete its goals. As the average donation it receives is only $30.00, every thing you do will help the children at the hospital. This past year, I signed up to be a St. Jude Hero through the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis, Tennessee and helped to raise funds for the hospital. The organization provides a lot of support to its volunteer fundraisers, helping you to come up with ideas for your fundraising. I enjoyed the process of doing what I could to help this organization succeed. You can also sign up to be a St. Jude hero at many local Indy races including the Mini Marathon held every May and the Monumental Marathon or Half Marathon held every November. If you're not a runner, you can find other ways to help here: http://www.stjude.org/volunteers. You can also see Indiana's Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/stjudeindiana.

That alone makes this a good place to donate as the jobs provided are for really good people.

By the time one of them actually came over to me (7 minutes after my appointment) I was told that the person who needed to check me in had left because I was more than 5 minutes late. They still got me checked in but sadly my iron levels were too low to donate. While they were finishing with me another woman showed up to donate, explained about a tree being in the road which caused her to be late, but they refused to take her. Considering all the stuff I hear about there being a blood shortage I am appalled by this behavior. One of the ladies working was on a the donor bed/lounge chair things, half asleep, and didn't get up at all. I expect better from Red Cross... but I guess I'll try to donate next at St. Jude or one of the other orgs.
