Hawaii Homeless Reminisces about Childhood

[@jordansiple6832]

People don’t realize it’s only one wrong move and you on the streets and without loving family to help out it’s a life sentence

[@everydaystruggle_hi]

So true. We’re all closer than we think

[@howell7136]

Always have a Plan B.

[@everydaystruggle_hi]

Pleasant interaction from start to finish

He’s near my house

I don't reminisce about my childhood in Hawaii. I came from a poor family, so I didn't have a nice childhood, but it did make me vow never to be poor when I grew up. Mission accomplished.

[@everydaystruggle_hi]

Respect. What side did you grow up on ?

@@howellwong11 it’s still rough there. Can’t imagine back in the day. I lived Kalihi valley for 3 years

[@howellwong11]

@@everydaystruggle_hi Kalihi Kai was a nice neighborhood back in the Forties. I left Hawaii in 1953. I think that immigrants from the South Pacific screwed up Kalihi, but I could be wrong. I have no interest in Hawaii at all, but I still listen to old Hawaiian music on my Walkman.

If he could start life over again, would he change anything?

[@everydaystruggle_hi]

I’m sure! 🤙

I have no,issues with those who are born and raised in a part of the country where they reside as a homeless person and to help those who are reaching out for a helping hand, I do however don’t like the fact people come from other parts of the US and expect to be taken care of in a so called sunshine state,Not everyone but far too many

[@everydaystruggle_hi]

Well said. Hawaii cannot support these people

[@user-ti5or4ny1e]

Its fucking normal people without houses are not stay and freeze to dead in chicago or canada. I am from europe and when i am homeless i would never stay. Thousand of years people go there where they can live without freezing so deal with it.

[@garytellep5392]

So why not ask the guy what really got him living under a bridge with no plan on getting back on his feet? Talk story is Ok, and a nice intro to a real candid discussion with the guy, perhaps direct him to some assistance programs. When I lived in Hawaii I worked 2 jobs, some friends worked three, plus their family obligations. This guy doesn't have one.

[@garytellep5392]

@Ftnast Accommodate what? You're talking nonsense.

[@everydaystruggle_hi]

Thanks for the feedback Gary 🤙

[@howell7136]

A lot of these homeless people are mentally ill or too lazy to work an 8 to 5 job. I know what poor is as I came from poor, but I worked and studied hard to be a success.
