Miss Colorado USA, Blair Griffith, is homeless. Her and her mother lost their home a month after she won the 2011 Miss Colorado USA pageant. And it gets worse...she is about to lose her job at Saks Fifth Avenue because her store location is closing. Please don't think because a person works at Saks Fifth Avenue, the person earns a big paycheck. It is a job for her while she is on her way to her career. Homelessness affects people from all walks of life, even the gainfully employed. Therefore, you cannot put a picture on homelessness. But all of this hasn't daunted her. She is as spritely and beautiful as ever, as she and her mother weather these downfalls.
My upload about Blair Griffith, Miss Colorado 2011, is to truly show the face of homelessness has no face. It can be anyone, ranging from children who have yet to begin their lives, to people well into life who stumbled across uncertainties or hardships. The media is quick to point out athletes, actors, and actresses who are in foreclosure, but seldom if ever, do they face the prospect of having on roof over their heads to call their own. Furthermore, many of them are still gainfully employed, whereas Ms. Griffith is soon to be unemployed.
Here are two links to news articles about her and her situation
