 At this age, I just kind of feel like I'm too damn old to be facing this, but so many people face it. What happened with me was my job was underpaid and I had more expenditures than I had income. In the end, I was put out in my place for basically a month's worth of rent. At the same time that I was scheduled to leave the apartment, my job was ending as well. I decided that, you know, I'll start afresh from my car. There's always this sinking feeling now that I'm not of the citizenry anymore. So while I was living in my car, I had a pulmonary embolism, I had pneumonia, and then I also had infection in the blood or in the kidneys. Knowing that I was very sick was the motivator. I said, hey, I need to get social service help. So I called 211 and then he told me, you need to go down to the Bay Area Community Services. With every fiber of my being, I just decided that that's what I was going to do if I had to crawl there. At that point, they got some funding and said there was this house that was going to be finished and I remember telling me that it's going to be incredible. I ended up, you know, with my own room and that's just beautiful for me. Housing is keystone. It's what holds everything else together. Housing has allowed me to access parts of my life that I thought were gone. It's allowed me to access work. It's allowed me to access medical care, proves my mental health and I'm able to build a new life. I get to go and be a real productive member of society. You see people getting up, going to work. Those are the heroes and this house has given me a chance to be a hero.
