Humping the Homeless by Kris P. Kreme<\/p><\/div>\n

A young woman calling to promote her charity organization, Hug the Homeless, finds herself caught up in a surprisingly deep Konversation.<\/p>\n

Hugs are meant to be warm and encouraging, but Carrie soon realizes there are much more intimate ways of providing both warmth and encouragement to homeless men out there, ways they might just be as eager to experience as she suddenly is to provide.<\/p>\n

The 12 days of Kris-mas ends with a real bang.<\/p>\n

Carrie Carpenter has been a major entrepreneur in cracking down on the troubles facing homeless in our society. She’s worked valiantly to establish and further her cause, the organization she created to bring public awareness to such an overlooked problem.<\/p>\n

Hug the Homeless is her idea, a simple reminder that homeless are people too and a hug is a simple way of showing support, encouragement, and warmth to their often cold and hopeless seeming lives.<\/p>\n

Naturally Christmas time is a very important time to remind everyone about the sometimes urgent needs homeless have. During the winter months they are often in even more dire conditions than other times of the year due to the cold, and the simple fact that everyone is so focused on themselves they forget about the less fortunate.<\/p>\n

This year, Carrie has decided to take on the task of cold calling, quickly getting used to hang ups or less than positive remarks at her phoning them to seek support for Hug the Homeless. It isn’t until one friendly sounding man actually starts a conversation with her about her organization that Carrie feels the true spirit of her endeavors.<\/p>\n

He’s not only friendly about letting her make her pitch but also seems to recall seeing her in the recent mailers her organization sent out around town, mailers featuring Carrie on the front wearing a festive if revealing blue Christmas outfit.<\/p>\n

Carrie is assured that she looked fine and that it was a clever way to promote her organization, many men probably not tossing the thing out without a second look thanks to a lovely attractive young blonde on the front. Still, as she is quick to point out, the true purpose of it all is to raise awareness of the homeless problems faced all over.<\/p>\n

She feels that a hug is a warm and positive embrace and that is what so many homeless people need, but imagine her surprise when the friendly man on the phone offers his own advice on just how she may help the homeless more herself.<\/p>\n

Carrie is always up for listening to ideas, but this man’s ideas seem a little extreme, don’t they? Maybe not, or maybe she’s just getting lost in the conversation, but something seems odd about his suggestions concerning ways she can give homeless men in particular something much more warming and encouraging than a mere hug.<\/p>\n

It’s the time of year everyone should be thinking about giving what they can, but for one young charitable entrepreneur, she might just be giving of herself more than she can handle, thanks to a most interesting Konversation. Help yourself on the twelfth day of Kris-mas by Humping the Homeless.<\/p>\n
