I started Johnny Gigolo Shirts to have something to sell where I could take the profits and do some good for someone that really needed it and who in my opinion deserved help. Well obviously there are millions of people that fit that category, unfortunately. But being a veteran and having been homeless I have felt the plight of the homeless veteran, and I know first hand what a nightmare that is. So I decide to help that cause. With the returning from Iraq, it seems as if it going to get a lot worse.
Why Johnny Gigolo?
If you have ever been homeless then you know, at times you do things that maybe you wouldn't do otherwise just to have a meal and/ or a warm place to sleep for one night. Sometimes you sell yourself cheap just to get something in your stomach. Sometimes it's back breaking labor, sometimes it's a compromise of your better judgment and morals. Sometimes it's out and out illegal. . But it always leaves you feeling rotten. The only escape for a lot homeless is just to stay high. And that makes you feel bad too. These men and women are often hero's and have saved more than one life for real. They deserve a lot more than they're getting. Only 25% of the homeless veterans get the help they need. The rest is up to us.

Please come back after you read the link I gave you and buy a shirt to help a homeless person that was willing to die for you.
I know the prices seem high but...the shirt is cool, there are only a few of these because I put them together by hand by myself. And they will definitely be a conversation starter. |
