She saw my pain and gave me words of encouragement. She said she wanted to give me a hug and it was one of the best hugs I ever had. The comfort in that hug. My God, you have so much to offer our community.”

She felt a little uneasy because she wasn’t sure how long it was going to last. She told me tons of stories that happened to her on the street.”

occurrences or a missed paycheck away from being homeless ourselves.”
