Homeless America
May 29th, 2007 by adminI was rudely awakened this week about the homeless people in our great nation.I never gave it a lot of thought before, until I happened to know someone who became homeless.This couple I am talking about,are,and were productive citizens of our country.
It seems as if some hard times had fallen upon these people.He had hurt his back at work,on a job he had held for 12 years.After several trips to the Dr’s,and doing all kind of therapy etc..He returned to work.Good ole corporate America,his employer decided that he had become a liability to the company.So they released him from his job with the excuse that his job had been eliminated.
Still injured he was released from his job.Unable to function at 100%he tried a few other jobs that he couldnt do.They fell behind on their bills,and foreclosure on their home proceeded.They went through all their savings and sold all their property to try to survive.It didn’t work for them.
They lost their house and they live in a tent,working at what ever jobs they can get and trying to live.They are good people and our own government could care less about them.They don’t qualify for assistance.
What does it take in our Great Nation to help people who need just a little help?I don’t know.What I do know is that every homeless person or family are not people who are Drug abusers,under achievers,worthless,non motivated people.Lots of them are just like You And I.
I will help these people get back on their feet,and live the life they have worked so hard for in the past.What would YOU DO?
