Poverty

I have never posted a video so I didn't get to say that stuff about how I felt to much about it, I think it all goes back to my drug addiction and how I am great full that I never had to live in the great poverty of most people, It is also the reason I sent my children away from me so that I didn't have to put them through living on the street. Most families that are on the street are not as lucky as I was/am that I was able to ship the children off. I was also one of the lucky ones who only had to sleep on the streets one night out of my entire addiction in Martinez, Ca.. If any of you know about the East Bay in California you know that there are some beautiful homes in that town, But than again there of course is a downtown ( next to the jail) and that is where I was, scared, out of my mind and not knowing what to do...
OK back to the Poverty piece, I learned out and about in the Bay Area that a lot of the families are not on drugs, they are just down on their luck, as you see a person on the corner try not to think of them as drug addicts think of them as someones, Father, Mother, or someones child.. we all think of them as why don't they get a job, why don't they live with family members and why don't they go to a shelter, well How are they suppose to get a job with out an address? how are they suppose to be with family if they have none? and the homeless shelter? are usually full and like Mary and Joseph there is no room at the Inn.
I am not asking for anyone to give the man on the corner any money or the women in the wheelchair. I am just asking for people to look at them in their eyes and tell them Hello,
