Do you know anyone that is homeless or has ever been homeless? I know people that have been homeless, my best friend was homeless when were in high school and he had no place to stay because his mom kick him out of his house. He came and lived with me because he had no place to go and didn’t really have any family. I called him a couple days to go to ask him how everything is going and he said it’s a struggle he is still moving from place to place stuff but after our conversation we had he told me that I made a huge difference in his life and that he wouldn’t know what he would do with out me. That brought a tear to my eye and made me think about how fortunate I am to have a household above my head and not really have to worry about much.

Going onto another topic that really caught my attention as we left class the other day when were talking about just the struggle of being homeless and about welfare. We talked about how people that when they get out of prison or jail that they are automatically denied welfare and aid for them to live , which honestly sucks because I feel like everyone should be given a chance to make stuff right in their life and not be rejected based off a couple life decisions. Like what are people getting out of prison supposed to do if they are rejected from everything they are most likely going to rob and steal just to get by but even then they get caught and go back into the system. I know some friends that are in prison and have been in and out of there since they were 15 just because they don’t have to worry about were their next meal is going to come from or were they are going to stay for the night, one of my friends told me it’s a struggle in jail but it’s a different struggle than being on the streets and he would rather take the jail struggle over anything any day. I sucks to see your friends go through stuff like this but its life and all we can do is try to make a change no matter how drastic it is anything helps.
