  • Outside

    So I have spent a couple nights outside this last week. Its scary and chilly. I was lucky to be advised to go to Cambridge, in Harvard Square If I don’t get a bed or if I want to enjoy more freedom in my day. People who “live” here keep an eye on each other, [...]

    … in America is between 42 and 52 years. The first full week I was in the shelter a young woman committed suicide. She was just 19 years old, married, but had just recently miscarried twins in the 5th month. She was set up for early death. Her husband was in jail down the street, [...]

My Brother

I don’t know really where to start… He took care of me when we were real young after our parents divorced. We didn’t have an ideal childhood, but who has. We are really what our parents make of us, if they screwed up than we might just be screwed too. That’s where mentors and friends [...]

I have to talk about it…

My own belief that I didn’t belong in a shelter put me in danger one night. I posted on craigslist looking for a place to stay. I trusted a stranger, bad move. For one he lived far away in Burlington and I wanted to stay in Boston so I can get on the bus or [...]

Self Discovery

… My brother and I arrived in Boston in the early AM of 1:30. No one was there to greet us and take us home, nor was there a room reserved for us to rest in the hotel adjacent the airport. My brother and I collected our luggage and hunkered down in some seats to [...]
