Website of the week - Pimp This Bum



A new kind of charity: PimpThisBum.com:

Read the inspiring story of Tim Edwards, who was homeless for FIVE years in America. And maybe help turn someone else's life around.

"PTB set out to aid the most disenfranchised segment of our society: the homeless. We truly believe that, while we won't be 100% successful in eliminating homelessness, we can provide opportunity for many people who want to get off the streets and return to a productive, fulfilling life.

Pimp This Bum is is a complement to the myriad shelters, food banks and other charities that embrace the homeless. As traditional charities welcome the masses and provide them with their greatest basic needs, Pimp This Bum surgically selects individuals, assesses the root causes for their condition, and prescribes a very individual solution to get them back into society.

PTB is administrated entirely by volunteers. All donations go directly to assisting the intended recipients."
