hypothermia

Another homeless man finally found a home.
In heaven or hell.
A friend perished last Friday night due to his lack of a warm place to lay his head.
The sadness continues.
CW was evicted from a local hotel/apartment dwelling a few weeks ago after he found another former homeless man dead in his bed.
A mutual friend Dwayne found CW lying in the woods stiff as a board on Saturday morning.
I talked to CW the day after his eviction.
The property owners would not let him retain the steaks he'd purchased with his food stamps.
And they evicted him because he wasn't listed on the lease.
I feel very saddened by all of this because I knew all three of the aforementioned individuals.
Why?
Sometimes once depression sets in and there seems to be no hope, one drifts into a state of apathy.
I hope somehow awareness will supersede apathy on the part of those who don't care about the homeless.

  1. David...so sorry to hear. Sorry we did not get to chat after the event on Sunday, but I'm so glad you were there. We are trying very hard to put roofs over head, but there is so much work yet to do.
