Los Angeles OIC and Russell Simmons' RushCard Needs our support to bring computers to 300 Families

 
From Chris Bridges, Executive Director of OIC

Los Angeles OIC has partnered with Russell Simmons and the RUSHCARD Prepaid Visa organization. Our “Computers For Families” program provides computers and internet access for the underserved, disadvantaged, veterans and low-income families who may be receiving some form of government assistance. This Technology Bridge is created to assist our neighbors in preparing and finding employment as well as assisting students to achieve higher educational levels. We need your community investment today to support this effort.

As such, the RUSHCARD Prepaid Visa can provide debit cards for many that are denied banking privileges. Internet access requires debit/credit cards or a checking account for service.

RUSHCARD Prepaid Visa is providing a platform for fundraising and a challenge that will allow a non-profit to win/match up to $50,000 over the next thirty days. The RUSHCARD “Rise To Thrive Charity Challenge” begins today and ends October 22nd. 

This grassroots fundraising effort is created to provide a computer for 300 students, veterans or families/households along with monthly internet access. For as little as $10.00 you would pay for one month of High-Speed internet service and $150 for a refurbished computer. (See attached flyer.)

Help us double your contribution. Visit our “Rise To Thrive” website and be among the first to make an investment into our future.

There are so many battles being fought in our society for righteousness. It is extremely saddening when you look into the core of these battles only to find hate and fear.   Yesterday, the bodybuilding community went into an internet frenzy regarding actor, bodybuilder, author and entrepreneur Kali Muscle for being “exposed” for Gay for Pay .   Gay for pay turned into Kali being actually gay according to what I saw. I began to read messages, blog posts and watch the videos that made statements such as people calling him a “butt pirate” or saying”Kali is gay. He is a disgrace to the bodybuilding world.” Oh and let’s not forget enormous amount of “F” bombs that were stamped all across the internet. Homophobic….. Is this really how the bodybuilding community wants to be seen? Kali is a friend and colleague of mine. We have worked together professionally and he has changed my life partner/wife, Bea’s and my life personally.   I met him and his lovely wife singer and entrepreneur

Poem: "The Mask I Wear"

I am in the process of this journey of fully coming into who I am inside and out! I was taking a life design course and my world renowned coach, Dr. Ray Blanchard read this poem below. I have always thought I was my true authentic self, however, after hearing this poem and then reading it several times, I have come to realize that I have neglected ME in the process of being a giver and a nurturer to others. So I am removing the mask and seeing and loving me. Growing and learning in the process. Hope you remove yours as well. I would love to see YOU!!! I am the other you. You are the other me:) THE MASK I WEAR Don't be fooled by me. Don't be fooled by the face I wear   for I wear a mask. I wear a thousand masks-      masks that I'm afraid to take off   and none of them are me. Pretending is an art that's second nature with me But don't be fooled, for God's sake, don't be fooled.
