We’ve been homeless over a year now but through prayers, have not slept on the streets yet (friends and strangers have provided us hotel rooms before our car where we slept in got repossessed) nor missed a meal. When we did have our car, we worked UberEats and helped some fellow homeless people with the money that we earned and gave them food from canceled orders. That is the only reason we miss our car. We just have to trust in God more than ever. We love you and God bless!!

Story: My friend Ray was homeless once so he told me "if I'm going go down hit bottom then it's going to be in style and I'm going be best I can." So he kept very clean, had his docker pants all press down no wrinkles, had all his face products in his bag, kept shaven and clean cut looking. You coukdnt tell he was homeless like that. Kept his body fit at the gym. He went to AA meetings every night and talked recovery. At night he slept courageously In some bushes cause he couldn't get In the crowded shelter. In couple weeks all kinds of people were practically begging him to stay on thier couch, he was so inspirational at his best at his worse. Rip ray correll. (He loved to know I told that story)

I knew it from her video when she was homeless that she would get out of it quicker than anyone. The reason why was her persistence and her street smarts. Every day she would go to the government offices and ask for help. She also picked the safest spots to sleep and she washed every day so she did not look homeless. She also had no addiction other than an addiction to persistence in getting off the streets.
@miriamhavard76215 жыл бұрын
It really helps when you're not an addict. I was homeless and people tend to assume that you're a junkie or a drunk or a prostitute. (SO many people, including some homeless MEN, presume a homeless woman is a readily available prostitute!) I just had to train myself to very early on, when I felt that vibe/ convo coming from them, to look them in the EYE and cut them off with "I'm NOT a PROSTITUTE....." They'd fall back and often apologize. They would leave me alone, in peace.

As a former homeless person, I know she works hard to keep up the way she does. If she can get up in the morning and groom herself...that's amazing. At night, she had to be on guard. I always made sure to pee in myself to keep people away, to keep safe. I'm glad she did what she did, makeup, and having a plan. God, heard my prayers, people helped...most people don't get anything. We aren't all on drugs, alcohol, or mentally disturbed...but if you know what it's like you'd understand why they might be in that state of living.
