RE: 10 Things I Learned From Being Homeless

in #story7 years ago (edited)

I was homeless for 3 month back in 2009 during the sub-prime mortgage bust. It totally caught my family by surprise and at no fault of our own. I learned what true fear and vulnerability was...no one or nowhere was safe. So I empathize for All who are homeless cause homelessness really can happen to anyone! Without help or support...digging oneself out of homelessness is nearly impossible.

"Without help or support...digging oneself out of homelessness is nearly impossible." So true. I come from Europe where there is more of a "community" mindset. Here in America noone hardly knows their neighbors. It truly does take a village to raise a child! I believe that has a lot to do with the current US society. There is no village. You are truly all alone.
