They are not always as you believe they appear.Some of them are quite clean and very educated.Don't use drugs and alcohol like you believe. Hoping to shatter some of these stereotypes. ran into a friend Saturday night. I’ll call her A for now. We talked about doing a series of stories, podcast interviews, and possibly video interviews with her and others in the area. A is homeless. She was injured in a car accident. Before that, she was a professional woman who worked in doctors’ offices and other professional settings. After the injury, she couldn’t work. Medical problems piled up. Bills followed. She fell through the cracks. Now she lives in the woods, and you would never know it. She dresses very nicely, often better than most people you pass on the street. She wants people to understand that many homeless people are not junkies, not dirty, not scummy. They are people who were hurt, sidelined, and forgotten. A also wants to highlight the environmental work she does locally and use that work as a way forward. Not charity. Not pity. A business. A hand up. I’m looking forward to working with her, and if it works out, this will be just the beginning.#FromHomelessToHustler #Homeless hear more at https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/it-s-whatever--6830625
