JT

JT currently lives in a youth homeless shelter in Denver, Colorado. He has been homeless since last November. JT is 19.

Most homeless youth 'couch surf', which is homeless. The stories I've heard are horrible. Not knowing where you are going to sleep, and then having to do 'things' do get space on the couch is traumatic and no way to live.

I just happened to look down and noticed JT's foot. It is infected from walking so much. He couldn't afford shoes so wore a size too small until he got blisters and open sores.

JT has a job interview coming up and hopes to go back to school.

Again a great parent. I think I am seeing a pattern of parents that just wanted a bed of roses and then could not deal with the problems and mentor their kids. When the going gets tough the parents give up. Don't ever give up on your kid's unless they give up on you. Always remember who the adults are supposed to be. Babies are jewels to parents but when the baby gets bigger then the parent wants no part of having to assist them. Makes me sick. His own father kicked him out of a trailer.

@sportsloverdrisk The guy making the films gives out socks to the people he interviews. I have been thinking of maybe putting up fliers for clean socks, gently used clothes in my condo complex to give to a shelter. Maybe you can too! :)
