Day 3 Degage Ministries Marquez
Today we had a different person helping us, and when we got there she told us that since we knew what to do that she would be in her office helping other people out. That was scary because we always had someone helping us that worked there. Most of the people that were there yesterday already knew us by name, which was nice. Gabe and I were already making friends with a man named George Lewis, and he was talking about working. About right when we left George went up to us and asked us for a phone because he was excited about getting his birth certificate so he could start working. He needed to tell his wife. I had to work the showers, dryers and washers. George would help me sometimes with the showers because there was a timer for the showers and they were confusing.
Today in class, Lisa talked about doing little things would help the homeless, and I thought that was true. Even if the only thing you have to give is a bottle of water, it helps someone not go hungry. She talked about all the stereotypes we put on homeless people, and I thought we actually do that: When you see a homeless person you don't go "Oh, lets help them," because we think they're dirty or smelly or his probably going to rob us. It's wrong to think of a person who needs your help as a man who's going to rob you.
