Photography Donated By: Doug MacLellan Photography macgalka@sympatico.ca Sometimes these kids don't want to be reached. Especially those who were abused severely. We don't give up! Let's learn to heal our broken hearts! Continually allowing ourselves to be jealous of anyone is abuse and in the instance of Mozart, {AMADAS} the renowned Musician of the Victorian days, Jealousy, directed towards anyone, continuously will in fact kill! Photographs Donated By: Doug MacLellan Photography macgalka@sympatico.ca Music Therapy Heal Body Mind and Soul! Abuse is the reason LoveCry was founded. We would like help to stop abuse in our world. We know this is not something we will do in one lifetime but we must start if we ever wish to succeed. "Denial" is the worst part of Abuse. Usually one party in a family will realize the problem and the others will lie to protect themselves and the family name. Doing this makes the Abuse continue into the next generation. Before you Deny: picture your child or grandchild being molested, raped, beaten, and literally driven crazy by abuse! With Denial happening, this is your families future. "Please" help us all face and deal with Abuse Most of our society, is under the impression that people are homeless, mainly due to poverty. In our studies, we have found, that most homeless come from what we believe to be normal families and homes. They join the ranks of poverty once they hit the streets. Five years of research, on the streets of Toronto, revealed to us that there are many more people homeless, in Canada due to abuse than any other reason. WITH YOUR HELP, WE CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE! We are here for the Protection of Street Peoples Everywhere! We will make a difference, and show the World some of us still Care. Sharing leads to Caring, Caring becomes Love. Lovecry is the voice for the Voice-less. Everyone will be Remembered. Lovecry Cares! |

LoveCry is the first ever non-profit company owned by the homeless and abused people. Those who started with us, have literally risked their lives to see that this company lives! The Government, Religions and Medical Communities were opposed to our existance because we represent change and personal self empowerment. Since those rough days LoveCry has grown and almost become a household name in our community and many others. We, along with helping the kids here work via the internet and phone are helping kids all across Canada and United States deal with homelessness, abuse, depression, and addiction problems of all kinds. PLEASE HELP US STOP ABUSE! Love's Not A Sin! Sometimes therapy gets very intence! Photo's Donated by: Doug MacLellan Photograpy: macgalka@sympatico.ca Far Too Often we are unaware that what we are doing, thinking, and saying is abuse. We need to learn what abuse truly is and the effects before the violence will be stopped. There are many kinds of abuse and all are traumatic in different ways. Let's Talk! |
