Hello.
2:03:33
My name is Sharon Brown.
2:03:34
Before I get started, remember the hostages, release the hostages, let Yahweh's people go to defend Israel.
2:03:42
Also, some of our hostages were starved because it's a food theme.
2:03:48
Just remember our hostages, we have 59.
2:03:51
Okay.
2:03:53
Homeless to homes and home gardens.
2:03:56
We need to get people into homes and then when we get people into homes directly into homes without red tape, we can also start helping them make gardens so that they can sustain living in a home of their own, even plants and things in their house, and they can learn how to grow food and it will be sustainable for them not only to go places and get food, but also to grow fruits, vegetables, and whatever kinds of foods they can grow in their home and also in their backyard, front yard, or something like that.
2:04:36
So if we can try to get people into homes, veterans, military, homeless, we would be able to help them with food.
2:04:45
I want, as I said before, I want to make not for profit restaurants and grocery stores, clothing stores, different kinds of chain stores and people can go there for free.
2:04:58
Of course, there are gonna be regular stores where people purchase things, but we can have not for profit stores where people go to if they have some kind of need over time that is consistent regularly, if something arises some kind of emergency, they can go to these kind of stores and shop.
2:05:20
They don't have to use money, they can come in and shop.
2:05:25
We can find out what they need and they I don't know that everybody needs a referral because we can't have red tape.
2:05:33
So I would like a store where people feel free to Thank
