Reflections from 3/31/06

Homlessness makes us feel: selfish, sad, hopeful, angry, sorry, nobody deserves tobe homless & motivated to help.

Our projects make us feel: helpful, good & proud .

Seeing someone in a bad situation can really reach into your heart. I was traveling north on 400 in rush hour traffic and saw a young man (teen to twenty) curled up in a fetal position in the gravel 2 yards from my car. I had my two young children with me and was hesitant to help him in case he was a dangerous nut or something. But I pulled over and asked him if he needed a ride. He got in. He was having an asthma attack and didn't have his inhaler. He was walking to his girlfriends house and riding his skateboard when he could. His father moved out west and his mother remarried and didn't seem to have room for him. He was hoping to stay with his girlfriend. I think that the abdication of parental responsibility is certainly a facotr behind the homelessness among young people. Any way it was upsetting to see so many people drive past him without stopping and I don't know that I would do it again out of fear. I drove him to his destination and wished him luck. What more could I have done?
