Boston

Boston has been on the street for 15 years. He has mental health issues, and he consistently fights with depression and addiction. As a child, he lost both of his parents--his mother to murder. From there, it was to his grandparents, an alcoholic and dysfunctional household.
He left there for the streets, and in his own words, he met a lot of good people with a lot of bad habits. With no alarm clock and no ability to shower, a job was hard to come by.
He was most grateful for clean socks. Thanks to Hanes [http://socialmixhub.com], I was able to give him fresh socks, the one physical thing he was in most dire need of.
Boston sees a light at the end of the tunnel, and he sees a future for himself and his family. He was a true encouragement. His three wishes were only to help those around him. And he's fine with being on the streets if that's where he needs to be to help and bless others.
The truth that's often lost is mental health issues could happen to any of us, or any of the ones we love. But we often view them and the homeless who experience them as beneath us.
Here's to hoping Boston keeps moving towards health and success

God bless

Does he not have any brothers and sisters or possibly any friends who could help him? I know what he is going through as I had to move in with my mother after getting laid off twice. The best way out of poverty is a college degree as I am working on completing school. We need to bring back manufacturing and assembly back into America than out sourcing to China!

he really is a good person.

Depression is a real disease and a huge problem. Some people fake it and most people don't understand it (that its a huge problem)
