Here is the story.

Okay, I have a story that has been brewing since before Christmas. Before I aired this on social media I wanted to give the other side several opportunities to make this situation right but as I expected they turned out to be the cowards this world seems to accept. I am tired of people pushing things under the carpet for the sake of "personal satisfaction" or "need to know" ... so, I am going to do whatever is ethical, moral and legal to expose the ones responsible for what happened......

Here's what happened -

2 days before Christmas I wanted to take a few that this world calls "Homeless" off the streets of this dark city. I spoke to several managers about my plan to book a suite at the Hotel DuPont (yeah, could have rented a 20 dollar motel room but how is that helping them, isn't that telling them ...that 20 dollar room is all they are worth?) So a conversation ensued with several reservation specialists at the Hotel DuPont in downtown Wilmington, DE who's job it is to offer accommodations to ANYONE no matter race, creed, sexual preference, color or financial stature.....CORRECT?? So I advised that this suite was going to be for 6 homeless individuals and I was filling it with food and gift baskets. After speaking with management, advising them of every detail and then confirming with night manager "Mike" that additional cots would be provided just in case needed, I was sent a confirmation letter and check in date of 12/25/2014 for one night in the amount of $639.00 - Before I mentioned this to the ones that were going to be staying I made every effort to clarify and make known every detail. I was confident that there were NO questions or concerns. I then walked down under a bridge where some call home (see photo below) and gave them the great news ... many tears were shed and they were given hope that night...... UNTIL...On Christmas day, 3 hours before check in... the director of security from the Hotel DuPont ("Presley") made the decision NOT TO HONOR the reservation for this reason - He said "What if one of THOSE PEOPLE rape or rob one of my guests".......

I was heartbroken, the ones that were so looking forward to this just said "Matt, its okay, we are used to it.." NO IT AINT OKAY... AND I AINT SITTING STILL ....so I am asking for all your thoughts and opinions on this and would humbly ask you to share this story and help let all know how the rich treat anyone they think is "beneath their standards"... Please pray for the ones that have no place to call home .... please
