Kathy

Miserable. Thats how Kathy of Austin, Texas describes the experience of being homeless. I can't say that I blame her for feeling that way. The night before this interview, Kathy slept on a bus bench. She hasn't been able to find a job because she does not have a permanent address and because of a few prior run-ins with the law. This isn't fair; Kathy's mistakes should not be a life sentence for life on the streets. Everyone deserves a second, even a third, chance. We must never give up on people.

Kathy's wishes are simple: she wants her children, a job, and a normal life. She and her husband are thinking about relocating to another state in the hope that they can find these things.

You're right...the system really has no mercy...But Revenge belongs to GOD...and when God works in strange ways...these homeless people will emerge as VICTORS...and I will pray to that end!!! God sees all your tears and struggles...and for those who know...put your treasures in HEAVEN...Earthly possessions will turn to DUST!!!

These videos open our eyes to the blazing reality...I was homeless for a short time while expecting my daughter years ago...I feel very badly for anyone who lost a job or went through a forclosure AND loss of a job...and for police officers to harrass the homeless is a s**tty thing to do!!! Where are the programs to help the homeless??????????????????????­???????

[electriman77]

Practical (opinion) advice i would give is go back to Dallas or florida

@aliff216 if obama took sweeping national action the opposition would call him socialist, its about national motivation and local engagement.
