Have you ever been Homeless ? (50s)

More and more people are struggling these days.
I was homeless for about 4 months in the late 90's. Had alcohol problems.
Set up a tent in the hills surrounding Perth.
Used to visit the Soup Kitchen in Fremantle.
No home, no job, No money, no hope.
Very disheartening when society ignores one.
If you watch people walk past a homeless person, the majority avert their eyes.
They do realise that at the stroke of a pen, there goes your job, your Mortgage payments, your home, your self esteem, your reason for living.
So many people are living on the edge of the Abyss, a slight tremor will make the foundation crumble and many people will fall to their demise

Amen.
Been homeless twice through one unscrupulous landlord and a job that went bust before we got paid and nobody told us !

Sad statistic is that most of us will come close if not go through it sooner or later.
Economists say you're only three paychecks from walking the street.
