My thought OUTLOUD...DAM NEAR CHOKED UP AND SHED A FEW AFTER LISTENING TO THIS ELDERLY WHITE LADY DESCRIBE HOW IT FELT SLASH SHE FELT WHEN SHE WAS HOMELESS FOR YEARS...IN AND OUT OF SHELTERS UNTIL SHE STARTED COUCH SURFING...AND THEN THAT BECAME TOO DANGEROUS SO SHE WENT TO A WINTER SHELTER WITH 200 PEOPLE IN LIKE...AN OPEN BAY ROOM...4 BATHROOMS FOR 200 HUMAN BEINGS! ALL STRANGERS! MEN AND WOMEN! SHE SAID SHE FELT LIKE TRASH...SHE SAID SHE DIDNT EVEN FEEL LIKE A WOMAN OR A HUMAN BEING...BECAUSE OF THE THINGS THAT GO ON INSIDE OF THOSE TYPES OF HAVENS THAT ARE RARELY EVER SEEN! BUT THEN SHELENE BRYAN OR MRS. SHELENE...AND HER ORGANIZATION STEPPED IN TO HELP HER STRAIGHTEN HER POSTURE...A CROOKED BACK, FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING...HELPED HER WALK UPRIGHT WITH A I AM A WOMAN AND A HUMAN BEING WITH STRAIGHTENED OUT POSTURE, APPEARANCE AND SPLINE! SHELENE TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION, FOUND HER A HOME...GAVE HER SOME HOPE AND COURAGE SO THAT SHE COULD FIGHT BACK, LIVE AND CONTINUE ON! GOVERNMENT ASSISTANTANCE EQUALS THE RED TAPE...3 MONTHS OF BACK AND FORTH BACKED AND COUPLED WITH CONSISTANCE AND PERSISTANCE...WAS SHE STRONG ENOUGH...WAS HOMELESSNESS IN THIS WOMANS CARDS? WAS THIS LIFE SHE CHOSE TO BE...JUST HER FATE? NOT ACCORDING TO THE STRANGER SENT...SHELENE MADE IT HAPPEN AS THE GOVERNMENT REVIEWED THE PAPERWORK, MONTH BY MONTH...AS THE DAYS CAME AND WENT! OUT THE POCKET, HER OWN POCKET ON PURPOSE...SHE PAID FOR THE HOMELESS WOMANS APARTMENT ON PURPOSE! SKIPONE.ORG FULLY FURNISHED THE ENTIRE APARTMENT FOR HER...FROM DISCOURAGED AND NOT KNOWING WHAT ELSE TO DO...TO SEEING LIFE CLEARLY NOW...NO BLUR! SHE SPENT THE NEXT 2 WEEKS TOUCHING EACH AND EVERY PIECE OF FURNITURE IN HER APARTMENT THAT SHE HAD...AND RIGHT NOW, THE DEVILS SOMEWHERE PISSED AS HELL...LIVID SLASH WAY PAST MAD! SHE SAID SHE WAS WALKING THROUGH THE SPOT TALKING TO HERSELF...ITS MINE! ITS MINE! GODS NEVER LATE OR ABSENT...HES ALWAYS THERE...PUNCTUALITY AND ON TIME! SHES PAID HER OWN RENT ON TIME FOR 3 YEARS...STILL CRIES A LITTLE BIT EVERY NOW AND THEN...BUT THEYRE TEARS OF JOY...THOSE JOYOUS TEARS! ALL BECAUSE OF A TOTAL STRANGERS GENEROSITY! AND THAT SAME STRANGER STILL PAYS HER UTILITIES BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT...SHE COULDNT MAKE THE ENDS MEET! AND SHED STILL BE HOMELESS IN THE CITY...ON THEM STREETS! THIS THE PART WHERE SHE STARTS SAYING THAT SHELENE SAVED HER LIFE! THANK YOU! AND SHES SO APPRECIATIVE AND THANKFUL! EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON AND IF YOU HANG IN THERE YOULL FIND THE ANSWER OR IT WILL FIND YOU! AND THATS JUST ALL I GOTTA SAY ABOUT THAT SHIT! STAY ENCOURAGED! THE END ~
