A New Face

It wasn't my intention to neglect this blog but the truth is I found myself homeless.
Just goes to show it can and WILL happen to anyone!
Plus my computer died, (fried mother-board), so I do what I can at the library and count my blessings that I can at least live out of my car and look for employment here, (the library)

Face It
There is a new face among the homeless that not too many people want to see.
It's the face of me and God forbid, it could be the face of you.

Faces of folks that are clean, sober and hard-working.
Faces that sit next to you at work, stand behind you at the grocery store and drop their kids off at YOUR children's school. There is a crisis Americans are battling with now that (seems to me), is getting swept under the proverbial rug and "ignored" as easily as social disease. People prefer to live in their little safe bubbles, not even acknowledging that we are faced with a housing crisis.
As long as they're comfy, they just don't give a care and choose to label the homeless as drunk, drug addicted and do-nothings, (lazy). Used to be if a person REALLY wanted to work all they had to do was get out there and apply anywhere and everywhere. Not the case anymore as jobs are NOT easy to get and the older you are, the harder it can be. And compound that with the crisis of affordable housing being non-existent and you get a person like me - falling through the cracks into a state of homelessness and despair.
