Not Just a Customer

I have been selling Street Sense papers for two years on the corner in front of a CVS store. I have met a lot of interesting people from all walks of life as well as people with various jobs; for example, the DC Mayor, attorneys, city council members, waitresses, custodians, government workers, etc. My customers are more than customers to me because we have conversations about politics, family, church, religion, or everyday challenges of life. I like being a listener for my customers and I like them listening to me. They are my inspiration and I always try to inspire them as well. They are my group of supporters, not just financially, but by showing they care and are concerned about me. So, to my support group (my customers), thank you so much for your support, for that is what keeps me striving more and more each day. A special thanks to Patrick (CVS manager) and his staff for the love and kindness they give and show me.

If you need to talk or vent to someone, stop by to talk to me in front of the CVS.
