You will notice I just posted a link to National housing trust . I know the power of living safely in a place you can call home is getting harder for all of us, not just those affected with the diseases, but those families and children who have lost everything or close to it already. I can say with certainty that you have to make your voices heard , by that I mean you take the steps to secure yourself with the help you need .
RED TAPE, RED TAPE....this is why I see a 20 year old girl with dirty clothes a blank stare as if she had been beaten down by life....holding her small fragile dog in one hand and a cup for change in another. As I put my measly dollar in her cup and smile, I think to myself "you're in the same boat." I am fortunate to have good friends and an exceptional landlord who care, but I still believe I will have to fight to be in a safe place not having to worry if I will have to go to a shelter for food , a warm bed and medicine to keep me alive.
There are many . many people who need help right here in our own country . The sick , the poor the elderly. Why in this country full of many riches . Why is this a problem here ? I walked away from the young woman think and planning how could I help , why don't I help ? She is me and I am her we are in this life together what is wrong with helping others . I got on my train and was sped away to my Dr's office , and all I have done for her is this blog ..
My health is getting better I feel more energy . I am still in pain ,still nausea , still fevers here and there. But I wake up everyday and breath and can participate in life.
Blessed be !
