homeless

Goodnight to the homeless near and far, and the ones in a wheelchair or car...

A friend sharing about not being able to help the homeless in Burlington VT more even as she is visiting her son in a 3rd floor apartment got me thinking of how many people I have talked to who were on or near being on the streets. No easy answers but plenty of important questions to ask and basics to consider. Promoting good food and hygiene, basic help with clothers and transportation would go a long way toward making some in roads. Breaking Ground in NYC sounds good as do many shelters, but most have their terms to meet.

I've met many a homeless in the NYC area and a few in Great Barrington MA and the MA/NY CT try-corner area and hope others are keeping an eye on 
any homeless (or houseless, even though one may or does own a house... but just doesn't or can't live in it.)

Maybe a few more folks offering help such as a van he could sit in or put his stuff in and transport from one end of town to the other from time to time would be welcome..just one or two nice folks helping him and maybe a few others could help turn the tide of his situation where there have been bumps in the road.
