With the rainy weather we’re having today, I cannot help but think about how this weather affects the less fortunate. I myself, as a native Californian, am not too fond of the rain. I know we need rain, and many people here really seem to enjoy the gloomy wet weather however, I just prefer warmer weather. Others in our society, however may hate the rain. They do not see the novelty of it, because the rain makes everything that much more difficult. Those who are homeless and out in the street in this weather must find shelter when it rains. They have to get their belongings and carry them to a safe dry place, and hope they can find just that. Homeless people have to deal with their belongings and self getting soaking wet in this cold temperature. I can’t help but feel bad for those who have no home during this whether and have to sit in the cold all night. Some homeless people are lucky, and have tarps and lots of blankets. But, there are those who have no resources when it rains. I was reminded about this issue when I went to my internship today at YouthHope. The youth came pouring into the dry building, finding shelter from the rain. They were given warm dry clothes if needed and a hot dinner. YouthHope excels at getting these youth out of the cold weather and into a safe building. However, I cannot ignore the fact that there are many homeless adults who are out in the open today, and will have to sleep in the rain tonight. I wonder what more can be done to help these people individually, when there is no more room in weather shelters?
