mariposa Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Wow. My Mom was at a home improvement store today picking out some paint for her new house. A woman came in, no teeth, reeking of alcohol. She is homeless and came in to buy a tarp to winterize her tent. She proudly informed my mom that she's upgraded from a 4-person to a 6-person tent, recently laid some carpet down, so it's quite snug. Kinda puts things in perspective, doesn't it?

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I've worked for years with the homeless so I do have compassion but part of the real perspective has to be the choices she made, like reeking of alcohol, that put her on the street to begin with. The homeless themselves do recognize this, btw, and don't have idealized views of themselves as a group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
