I used to live with my boyfriend in a big house. I was a lawyer therefore I had a good amount of money. When my boyfriend and I broke up I was devastated. I stopped showing up to work and ended up getting fired. Therefore missing payments on my new apartment and I kicked out.
I had moved to the city to live with my boyfriend after getting transferred to an office here. With moving, I had no family in the city and no way to contact them, so I ended up on the streets. I’m now sleeping on park benches or in the homeless shelter.
Also as far as personal belongings goes, I don’t have much. Most of the stuff in the house belonged to my boyfriend, and most of the stuff in the apartment belonged to the building. The few things I did have, I sold mostly everything. I tend to stick around coffee shops and busy areas and ask people for spare change.
We all know a few of the basic needs everyone should have. These would include, Food, Shelter, and Showers.
Cities tend to only have one small building for the homeless and that’s not enough. Also in my opinion there should be an apartment building for the homeless where they can stay for two to three weeks, there would be hot showers and a little bit of food provided by the government.
Another thing that would be amazing is if soup kitchens were open around three to four days a week. Normally they are only open once a week. With being homeless you don’t have much money maybe a few quarters and nickels you find on the ground. But that’s not enough to buy anything. You don’t get to eat very often, that’s why I think soup kitchens should be open more.
