Who I Write For

Each morning I get up to take a shower and right before I get in, I always ask myself: Am I worthy of this day? What does the world ask of me? As I put on my clothes, I end up staring at a blue wristband. It was a gift from a fellow Street Sense vendor and it is ironic that it is blue, my favorite color but, it is also what the wristband reads “help the homeless.” At that moment I think of random folks. I know some of their stories and have felt their pain. I end up at the Street Sense office and I feel energized. During my time writing for Street Sense, I have crossed the metro area for numerous weeks, and the people I have met out there are amazing. They come from all walks of life. Their vision of a homeless-free world gets me pumped. The connections you can make being a vendor are priceless. My daily breads comes from you the readers. I write for those who take time to actually find out what is really in the world around them.
