Day 8 Family Promise Sims
Homeless people aren't really homeless, they just don't have their own house. Today we interviewed Jessica & she told us her story. She had a really good life (she was spoiled). We asked her how did she become homeless & she said it was a choice. She could have either stayed in her apartment (she said it was an issue when it came to her children's health) or went to stay with her mom, and she didn't want to because she knew she had to grow up and not be dependent on other people. She said she's NOT homeless because when you're homeless you don't have a roof over your head, and she does.
My perspective on the homeless has changed over the past two weeks. They are regular people. Some choose to live on the streets and that's their home. Me volunteering at Family Promise made me realize there a A LOT of people trying to get people the help they need, and if they cant work as hard as they are to help them then no one can help.
