I need your help against Benchmark! YES YOU!
« on: February 15, 2007, 06:11:01 PM »
Quit feeding that damn troll and get in here.

I would normally post this in the Benchmark forum but the industry forum gets the most traffic so... to the point:

Somebody in Southern California is willing to distribute leaflets to Benchmark's Students.  The exact details of how or content I'm not stating publicly.  I will say that it involves an "exit plan" for students there.

If you're not familiar with Benchmark (CEDU clone) yet... click my sig and read.

Normally, I do all the research myself, but this is a biggie, and I have little time, so I need your help.

What i need help with:

I need to find homeless shelters in or around Redlands California. (10 miles max).. Google Earth has turned up nothing so far.  The Salvation Army in Redlands is just a pawn shop.

I also need to know what students are legally entitled to when they leave a school.  I know students are entitled to their own pocket money they brought with them to benchmark, but this is often not much.  I would like to avoid homeless shelters if possible.  Benchmark has a student allowance fund, from which students are credited (not given) about $20 a week.  I need to know if the students are entitled to that money.  There is also a student "revolving fund".  Benchmark used to let students save up the money and leave, but stopped doing so after too many students said "fuck you, i'm gone!"  It is cheap in Redlands, if students are able to stay in a motel with a phone, they will be able to get a job and live on their own.  This is probably the most difficult information to find, which is why I mention it here.

Psy, here's a link to 7 shelters on a map I can't really tell but I think it's within a ten mile radius.

I'll look for motels and churches that might take these guys in, I'll also look for any state or federal programs that cater to cult victims(a long shot but it can't hurt)

I already used Google Earth.   There are issues with all of those

The closest one (within 10 miles) is this:

Inland temporary housing : "ITH is a non-profit, 30-90 day temporary homeless shelter for families with children under 17 years of age."

the rest are all far away...

Don't any of you have a fucking van? (You know all those pack-a-vehicle full of college students contests? Well, this is kinda like that..)

And an effective range of more than ten lousy miles?

And maybe a living room big enough for a few of them to crash on while they look for jobs?

Jesus, people.

Go ahead and post your address up then so the kids can locate your house. I assume Milk will be doing this as well.

You make a good point about putting one's $$ where their mouth is....

Ok, so where from here?

Sure, why not... we can swing by Benchmark on the way and take the class on a field trip.

That would be an awesome first stop, wouldn't it?

If I were to wire them money directly I'd have no guarantee that they'd actually get it.

Does whoever's on the ground doing this need direct financial help? (This is a serious question)
