Easy to get along with. Considerate. Glad to help out around the house. Putting others before myself. Quiet but glad to talk when others do. I can do intellectual or fun talk -both kinds! Compassion Obsessed. Currently helping large numbers of homeless to find those who need to escape from human traffickers. I am the director (unpaid) of an Illinois 501(c)(3) non-profit organization: Compassion to the Rescue compassiontotherescue.org

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Anyone who hosts me will be directly allowing me to empower people to escape from human trafficking. Otherwise I have to stop the work to work for rent money. In essence: your couch will be the deciding factor on how many people are helped. I am out to help the poorest of the poor right here in Chicago. If I have to sleep on couches to serve them I am glad to do it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Liberia to feed the starving. With no training, experience, appropriate degree, mentor, host organization, or money to give away. I found them and found a way to keep some of them fed after I was gone. Story at:

Teach, Learn, Share

Love is the greatest. Assessing actions and motivations by how much love they contain is the best way to go.
