Street Sense Part 5, Living with an infant son

Max Pixel

Well the last 2 months have been wonderful! My son is two months old and he gives me the motivation to get up every day to make me strive harder. He smiles a lot every day and it puts me in a warm feeling in my heart.

I try to read to him every day and play with him all the time. But it had been hard for me because I want to go sell Street Sense but I can only sell the paper 2 to 3 times a week. But the good thing is that a lot of people are buying the paper when they hear what I’m saying.

So when you hear me say, “Get your Street Sense and help the children that are homeless today!” Then I say this, “Don’t get me wrong, I mean that we are all God’s children and some of us need a little help.”

I love when people come up to me and tell me “I like what you are doing, keep up the good work.” I have been looking for a job but it’s been hard. So I’m asking for a little help, because I have a son and I don’t want him to go through the same thing I had to go through. So, if you know any job openings, when you see me let me know.

All my customers have been so nice to me, I can’t thank them enough. You are wonderful people for helping me and my son. Hopefully soon you will see me more, selling the paper.

Thanks again to everybody because all of you have been a big help. So please keep smiling and have a great day.
