May God and Jesus truly be with the 300 to 400 people sleeping on the streets downtown.
I do commend Councilmember Yvette Alexander, who chairs the Health and Human Services Committee for saying “We must get these people off the streets!” a few months ago, when I was testifying at a hearing at City Council.
I sat right there and heard her say it myself! God bless her soul. Some of these people who sleep on the streets really need help today, this week, this month.
Some of them are not that healthy! Some of them are senior citizen homeless ladies and gentlemen. They really need a little extra help!
A 72 year-old woman sleeps in Franklin Square. She has been sleeping in the park for about a year or so. She really needs help. There is a lot of work to be done in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
I’m a veteran and a native Washingtonian. I haven’t touched a single drop of tobacco, alcohol or drugs in 24 years, thank God for Jesus!
Over 8,000 soldiers have lost their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan! But we are having problems trying to help 8,000 homeless people in Washington to find a little room! May God and Jesus be with them.
