RESPONSE

Street Sense Media has brought me a long way through life. As a vendor and as someone who once was living in the street, I realize how communication plays a very important role in life.

My RESPONSE means a lot to people when they greet me for the day or when they have questions about the paper — even when they say “not today” if they pass me by. And that means a lot to me. I expect a RESPONSE back.

Having sold this paper for approximately two years, I find that responding back to a vendor uplifts that person’s spirit and gives encouragement to keep his or her head up. It helps to not snuff out the spirit so that we can continue on with a smile.

RESPONSE is the first step for communication. Let’s respond back to each other in life and help make the world a better place to live in peace. Thank you for your RESPONSE to a Street Sense Media vendor.
