The last two days I have talked about homelessness, I received one email asking what my overall point is, and where I was going. I do have a point. And that email helped prove it. This person is a regular reader. They were taken out of a comfort zone, I put something in front of us all, words, photos and images in our heads to wrap our minds around that people just like you and I either on the street, and hungry or are only one paycheck away from being there.
So what do “we do?
1. Talk about it. With your family. At work. At worship. With your neighbors. Great minds can do great things!
2. Volunteer at a shelter or agency that serves the homeless .
3. Be an advocate for the homeless.
4. Educate and hold local and state officials accountable for helping address this issue.
5. What can you do?
I understand that this issue will not be solved tomorrow or end next month. It is growing, it is getting much worse and it is hitting closer to home for most all medical class Americans. Surely in a country as vast as ours, we can take care of our own.
We can be the change we seek in this world, and in ourselves. One day. One journey. One person. One opportunity at a time.
