Nathan

While walking this morning in Portland, Oregon I met Nathan. Too me the weather In Pacific Northwest is nasty and I dont know how people survive on the streets. Nathan told me he has a sleeping back, a few jackets and uses storefront awnings when he can to stay dry.
Nathan has been homeless off and on since we was 10 years old.
Many street people do not want to use shelters. Lines to eat or use showers are long. Often they are not safe.
Nathan survives by begging for money at an intersection.
In weather like today he hopes to get enough money for a nights stay in a hotel. Today Nathan was lucky.

@jazznfusion68 How do you get a "home?" You CHOOSE to go to a bank or financial institution to buy a house. How do you "lose" your home? When you sign a piece of paper the contents of which you don't understand, and you can't afford to pay it because you 'CHOOSE" to stay in a dead-end job expecting big corporations to pay your salary, despite the fact that you're American-born, American-bred, American-educated, American-cultured, American-politicized, and Americanized-to-the-blood.

@continuitychannel you think joining the military is protecting freedom? haha. thanks for that laugh

@bairreb sorry if I were in that situation the last thing I would be doing is drinking or doing drugs.
-
@continuitychannel no one should feel as though their only option is the military.

At any age millions lost theyre jobs, and because of that lost theyre homes. They chose neither.

I'm dead (eyes rolling, stopped breathing), for the benefit of someone who obviously has limited vocabulary because he/she is uneducated.
(Now, how do you expect to understand the conversation when all you can say is the F-word, you moron?)

Some of you people who comment so badly haven't got a clue. I am homeless. I have a car and a part time job. Having a job doesn't mean you can afford a place to live. Sometimes people are in unfortunate situations, like me. I made a mistake a year ago and today I pay the consequences. Giving a homeless person a dollar does help. Some go buy alcohol and other drugs, but that is a way to forget the problems. Just remember, imagine if you were in this situation. how would you feel and react?

(continued from statement below)throw dollars away for nothing. Or if someone loses a dollar they go, "Oh it is just a dollar!" Somehow when you give it to someone in need you are in the wrong? What is wrong with us as people?
