You can find him a caseworker by going to a homeless shelter or outreach programs - they can connect him to a case worker. Go on his behalf.

You are right I should…I’m hoping the right person sees this

[@howell7136]

All you old homeless people have wasted you time doing nothing in your life time. Nothing is free. I learned that when I was growing up. Now you are reaping what you sow, the same as me. I'm a part Hawaiian. retired comfortably in my home in Central Texas. I left Hawaii in 1955 to find better work on the mainland. I am 92 years old.

Case workers dont do anything,but waste your time. Trust me 70 yrs old and was on the housing list for years,did absolutely nothing for mem i have a clean record,worked all my life, retired to take care of my mom,she died threw me to the curb. But case workers will care for straight up criminals.

[@everydaystruggle_hi]

From what I have gathered from talking to people on the street for a few years now, some case workers are better than others. A good one can make all the difference

[@howell7136]

I don't depend on case workers. That was where you went wrong. If you worked all your life and retired, what went wrong? You took care of your mother and she threw you on the curb, when she died, doesn't make sense to me. You must be pretty stupid. I also worked all my life and retired. I'm doing fine, own a house and car and money in the bank. I also have a wife to care for.

[@howell7136]

Trust no one. Nothing is free. Take care of yourself. They all work for me. I'm 92 years old and can buy just about anything. I grew up poor, but I had a good brain.

I hope Michael gets money from SSDI

Why is he scatching his leg the whole time? What bug is eating him up? People don't care. It is all about themselves. Only wish I could help him.

[@everydaystruggle_hi]

He told me he’s had problems with his legs before
