Hi there! Just ran across your blog ... what a great creation and service you are providing. I have always thought if I ever became very wealthy ... I would find individual homeless families and buy them houses. My fiance recently befriended an elderly homeless lady in LA and arranged for her to live in an assisted living home so she could get off the streets. All went well for a few months, until she began drinking and her schizophrenia came back. The home ended up having to give her notice to vacate since she was so mean to people and would dissapear for days at a time. She finally said she would rather be free on the streets.
It was a very disheartening end to what began as something great. I've read many of your blogs that talk about building housing for as many people as possible, but it seems so many homeless people are on the streets because they are mentally ill or drug addicts. Those people can't live alone and need to be in hospitals. That's why I believe findinf individual families or people who are sane and really want to get off the streets and helping them is all we can do.
with gratitude for your service in this life - Lindsay
