Have you ever been Homeless ? (both)

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

Fair play to you... getting your life back must have been really hard going.. and for being homeless.. Awe you poor thing.. I'm so happy you had the determination. I really am. I have known someone since I was 2. He is homeless now. He set up camp in a forest down my road. It breaks my heart. I paid for two nights in a b and b for him last week. And I get him a few bits. My hubby won't let me bring him back to our home. I got my friend on the housing list and keep my fingers crossed he'll get a place soon. He messed it up the last time.
