Little girls want to grow up to be happy, just like little boys. They want to be useful, have work they like, and a family that loves them. Nobody ever plans to be homeless or to live in the streets. Fact is, it happens more than most people know. You could have a family, a job, and maybe a good life. But, if you get ill and can’t work for six months or maybe two, all you have can be lost and you may become homeless.
If a child gets ill and needs 24-hour care, or if you get laid off or put back, whatever people want to call it, the downside is that you are out of work. Not all of the homeless are just out of work. Some have medical
problems that prevent them from working. They might be having some marital issues, or drug or alcohol
problems. The thing is they all want a chance to help themselves and receive a little help from others.
Whether you believe it is karma from God or humanity,
you have a way out. Street Sense is a way for people to keep their dignity.
