Happy birthday America

Graphic by Bruna Costa

Happy birthday to my fellow readers.

Two hundred and fifty years is a milestone. I have been here for 50 of them, and it has been a blessed journey, though a difficult one. I have experienced homelessness for 37 years, traveling from state to state seeking a way forward.

I am still traveling because I am eager to leave D.C. In my experience, it is a difficult place for those experiencing homelessness to find success without specific connections, and unfortunately, some take advantage of the oppressed. I continue to look for a better path.

We believe ending homelessness begins with listening to the stories of those who have experienced it.
