I’ll never forget the first day I became homeless. I was lost, hungry, and very confused. I wanted to blame the world for my plight. I felt like my life was over. With my educational background and good upbringing by my parents, how could I be in this situation? And I’ll never forget having major surgery and losing my job because of that surgery. I felt that all of my accomplishments were for nothing.
I’ll never forget the day I started to turn my life around. Getting involved with Street Sense was a very important turning point for me. It was not just about selling papers. The paper is more about regaining your self-confidence by getting you back in touch with yourself and helping you communicate with other
people. But it didn’t stop there for me; I referred 15 to 20 other people to Street Sense who were going through the same thing I was going through, or even worse. They feel the same way I do. Now they are helping others the same way I helped them. It’s all centered around what Street Sense stands for. So, thank you, Street Sense. I’ll never forget.
