I am homeless, but do my best not to look so. Why? Because of prejudice from society, I like to make an effort to look good. Funnily enough I get other homeless people begging, and I have to turn them away as I have to help me first. When my money runs out its tge end of the road for me. I cannot work due to ill health, the system has shoved people like me into a box. I dont fit into a box, let alone a cardboard one.
The years spent proving my case has been beyond stressful, and totally unnecessary. Yet so many are in the same "box". Money could be used for drugs, alcohol for those suffering addictions. Others like myself suffer food allergies which are life threatening within itself.
what would help is for people to get involved, setup healthy food centres. I am not sure if food banks offering chips, tin foods (killing us slowly with love), is what comes to my mind. Homeless people need Jamie Olivers, Gordon Ramsays on the corners of the streets.
Housing, amaxing spaces on TV - do it for the homeless! Where are the people with the skills, knowledge to assist instead of whining? Nobody here is coming up with solutions!
