Why we Feed The Poor
🌍 Samson House has worked with individuals from some of the wealthiest and most disadvantaged communities across the globe.
🤝 Ian Streeter, a financial planner and businessman who franchises financial planning practices across Australia, also devotes his time to helping people living in some of the world’s most impoverished communities.
✨ A Life Changing Moment ✨
👶 Ian’s journey into philanthropy began with a life changing experience. At the time, Ian owned an outsourcing company in the Philippines that serviced his financial planners and mortgage brokers in Australia.
🇵🇭 Ian’s journey into philanthropy began with a life changing experience: one day, he encountered a baby crawling through busy traffic while his mother lay unconscious, incapacitated by addiction.
🚗 Cars simply drove around the helpless child. Shocked, Ian intervened, took the mother and child, fed them, gave them money, and began helping them toward stability.
❤️ Later, Ian witnessed mistreatment of a child who was begging at the hands of a foreigner, and he intervened, confronting the foreigner. As time went on, Ian felt the depth of poverty saturate him. He volunteered in Tondo, worked with the Ita and Badjao tribespeople, and helped homeless families. 🏘️ Ian would pick homeless families off the street, feed them, and give them money at night.
🍲 Behind every face is a story, reminding us that even small acts of kindness can have a lasting impact 💚.
