I've been homeless in Texas for nearly 4 years now. We had the most horrible winter this year and the cold is so painful.

[@clemsontigerfan6024]

[@lindamerchant123]

I didn't know frigid cold air snow goes as far South as Texas now I know

[@lizrobinson7711]

I really hope you’re life gets better, I would love to be able to give warm clothes and meals to the homeless, the cost of living is so high, it’s hard. God Bless You ❤

As an Ambasaador when I got back from Russia and stopped a Nuclear War tge FBI made me homeless .. it sucked living in an s-10 pick up

[@megatron8461]

Stay strong, Eric. I know you’ll pull through.

[@andrewlikes2890]

Been their glad people stepped in to help

[@harrynixon1984]

Union gospel mission thank you. Thank you Chaplin Kim and Troy also David Marrow and Sammy although there not at the UGM anymore they continue to do incredible things for God. My time at the mission was a completely miracle. Being at the mission gave me hope and faith. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer while living in Minnesota but being at UGM help save my life. Everyday seeing the many faces that come through to eat, wash up, sleep on the cots and take time to worship. So many faces and stories give me hope in God that no matter what I was gonna be all right. I LOVE EVERY MOMENT AT THE MISSION AND CANNOT WAIT TO COME HOME FOR A VISIT VERY SOON. ITLL BE THE FIRST PLACE I COME AND SEE ALSO GET ON MY KNEES AND GIVE THANKS TO THE BUILDING AND PEOPLE THAT GIVE SERVICE EVERYDAY LIKE JAMES AT THE FRONT DESK.

Jesus Christ comfort Eric and all suffering souls , Psalm 118.

[@girlymann8827]

its the same in the summer, brother

[@michaeljohnson-thiman4975]

If I was a millionaire I'd shelter all the homeless

[@jeffreyb8770]

THEN MORE HOMELESS WOULD TAKE THEIR PLACE! So then you'd shelter the new homeless, and even MORE homeless would take THEIR place, then you'll have ghettoes of idle, sheltered, people who get addicted to drugs and commit violent crime.

[@helenbradford2569]

Oh my goodness, I'm sorry you had to go through that. Just breaks my heart. May God bless you forever.

Bleeding heart do-gooders need to stop feeling sorry for the homeless, they CHOOSE to do this to themselves, close down the soup kitchens and shelters and you'll see how quickly these people start taking care of themselves, Americans are lazy and unmotivated

[@lindystanway8110]

In Cslgary they line their clothes with newspaper to stay warm.

[@lindamerchant123]

Someone help him many homeless don't want to be out in arctic air of winter while some would prefer it to being in shelters the elements of deep winter far more dangerous to live sleep in

[@swolfe9668]

He needs to help himself, stop with the handouts, close down the soup kitchens and shelters and you'll see how quickly these people start taking care of themselves
