Before the pandemic shutdown, things were better. It was like a protest for change, protest for human rights. Jobs were available. Teams were better. People were having parties, clubs were open, restaurants were open. Lots of programs were available. You could get on the bus.
People were sticking together, holding together, conversing with each other. More resources were being provided to homeless people. There were more Street Sense Media vendors.
It was better for me, too. I was keeping myself busy with Street Sense, helping people that were disabled, like me, and people that were not disabled, like me – I was still helping them. They would come to me for help and directions. Things were good. And they will be again.
