I am Lester L. Benjamin, a Street Sense vendor who truly appreciates and gives thanks to God and my customers. Thank you! I wrote an article once about my one and only son, Travis D. Johnson. He died on February 4, 2013, from an enlarged heart. My own heart aches every day thinking about the loss of my only child. Fortunately, I’m doing much better. I have turned my life around. I thank God every day for leaving me one granddaughter. She is my life and she means the world to me. She is only two years old.
I continue to pray hard to God to please help me stay clean and sober for the rest of my life. I feel really good about myself, and one thing I have learned is that alcohol and drugs will not settle your problems. I once did that, but when I woke up I had the same problems and felt even worse. God really has blessed me. I pray day and night, and prayer is the only thing saving my life. I sell Street Sense papers every day and there are some truly amazing people in this world. They are part of my blessing.
I thank you all for your support and wish you a belated (sorry about that) Happy New Year! Street Sense has really helped me a lot. I hope everyone who works for Street Sense will be blessed and have a wonderful day every day. Please pray for me next Wednesday, February 4. I need every prayer I can get. God bless each and every one of you.
