Homeless Vietnam veteran in NYC uses his military training to survive homelessness

I met Gerald sleeping on the steps of Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in New York City. Gerald is a Vietnam veteran who uses his military training to survive, keep clean and protect others.
This is a very powerful interview. Gerald talks about NYC politics on homelessness and gives some insight into the challenges of trying to have good hygiene on the streets.
Please watch this interview. If it moves you, please leave a comment and forward to a friend.

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, a living wage or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

Juani Castillo Very well stated. If that was the original complaint I would have responded much differently. You still can’t use a blanket term of “the government” much like the use of “America’s fault” they miss the nuance of these problems. When you say the government is actively discriminating there would have to be laws that prevent equality. Please point them out. I’ll even give you a couple, diversity hires and affirmative action. Those are discriminating but seen as justified in a twisted perception. Vietnam was Frances fault anyway. Every race was conscripted so that wasn’t discriminatory. It’s not the government that keeps you from getting a job, or moving somewhere else, unless you made mistakes that prevent you from certain jobs. Sex offenders, violent criminals, blue collar and white collar crime can and should make your life harder as a repercussion. Social welfare systems aren’t super effective and they aren’t completely ineffective. There are many better ways to solve these problems. Besides, the communities where racism is the worst and police are oppressive are these big cities which are strongholds for Democrats, that’s when government is oppressive and truly terrible. Like the super crazy restrictions and payments small businesses have to face which stops people from elevating into the upper echelon. Look at California to see how bad that is, so bad even big business has to flee.

Insane respect for this guy. Veterans deserve better.

As a 6 year Veteran, this hurts my heart down to the core smh. He should never be in this position, this is unacceptable.

Society is on the decline in America. I don’t know what it will look like in ten years.

[@Oracleofcrows]

Who should? Housing is expensive and scarce and wages are low.

I could not agree more. The fact that these veterans are homeless is disgusting to me. People are throwing money at the people of Ukraine and completely ignoring these brave men that fought for them! I cannot understand this at all.
