To be homeless must be one of the most stressful things anyone can have to go through. I’ve been homeless since 2012. I never would wish homelessness on anyone. The things a homeless person must encounter from day to day, are so, so depressing and can drive a person to thinking about taking once’s own life.
Not knowing where you are going to sleep, bathe, eat, and — most of all — use the bathroom, is extremely depressing. I’ve lost everything I had too many times. I come from a family of five and I am the only one living. Holidays are so hard.
The best thing that happened to me was someone telling me about Street Sense Media. Since becoming a vendor with this organization, my life is getting better.
I’m waiting for my apartment to come through. Street Sense helped me connect with a place to live in the meantime. I’ve been to so many programs that have not been about to do anything for me. So, this is a welcome change.
I thank God for Street Sense Media. They’re doing great things for the homeless community.
