Thanksgiving

Graphic by Bruna Costa

I finally have my own place! But selling Street Sense, which I love to do, is still my only “steady” income. I can’t work at anything else right now because of my heart surgery. I can’t drive because of the police department, SMH. That is unsettling because I’ve worked since the age of 17. But I’m still pressing hard to stay strong and keep myself positive throughout these trying times.

 I thank all my customers, whom I call my friends because when we meet each other, I consider us friends. And I thank you all again in this season of thanks.

 I always will speak about the homeless situation. As fall fades and winter approaches we need to remember that cold is deadly for those out on the street. I know because, on one Christmas Eve, I nearly died behind a building. 

   I also want to thank Street Sense for humbling me and changing my life for the better. Believe it or not, it truly has. 

   Peace and love to all.
