Back in 1980 I was broke and moved to Boulder Co (before it went to hell).
Got a job soon as I got there but didn’t have any cash to grab an apartment right away.
Lived in my 69 Road Runner for 3 weeks at a rest area on Hwy 36 east of Boulder.
Got a membership at the YMCA in town so I could take showers.
A little rough but a hell of a lot easier than some folks have it.
I couldn’t imagine having a family and being broke and homeless.

its so sad. i was walking though a local park going to work. i saw a lady sitting huddled up, hair all crappy. i asked her if she needed anything. i would love a coffee she said. i went to my pocket..no change. i gave her a 10 buck note. the following day doing the same walk to work, she came to me and said heres your 6 bucks change!!i allmost cried. i gave some cash to a female friend who took her to a charity shop and k mart and got her clothes and womens hygene stuff. it was heartbreaking.

i have seen you around our porch but we have never really got to know each other, but i am pleased you had the spirit to get on your feet. i wish you all the best. there is a lady i met through the porch site. she has had a crap life, i mean total crap. but she reaches out to people who are down and boy with words only, she can make a person feel good. she is an angel.

God Bless you, Geordie.

jimi i thank you for that. i believe we have spoken on the porch. i am a agnostic athiest but having said that, i am a human. people choose what they want/need to believe in, thats their business, but as a mere human of course i wikk help, i mean can you imagine a woman washing and re-using a tampon!!! how bloody sad is that.
sometimes no matter which country you live in, there is always something you can do to help.
we live in countries that are called SUPER POWERS!!!
tell me...are we really.

When I turned 18, I was thrown onto the streets, and forced to claw my way out of that predicament. Yes, my adoptive parents were assholes.

It taught me some important life lessons, and made me a lot tougher than most my age.

That’s bad. The worst my mom did was telling me to go play in traffic!

Well, they were bad enough that the state put me in foster care until I graduated high school, and then I had to go back to them until my 18th birthday.

That's gotta be tough. I lost the old hag just months after I found my real mom, sad her bitch daughter followed soon after. The other adoptive brat is living on SSI, and the old man moved across the country.

Cute? You do realize I don't look like my profile pic. Right?

I used to sleep on the street when i couldn't catch the last bus back home cuz I'm a cheapskate chinese guy when I was still in Vancouver.

Then after being scammed out of money twice and losing my dad (I still deep down inside believe its my fault), I went homeless for a year in China. I was in deep depression, I wanted suffer the pain that my dad went through. (Even though its not the same pain but still)

My dad trusted a very innocent friend that got scammed more then us and some how we didn't recover and he slowly did. I do admire the scammer that scammed us all cuz in the end he declared bankruptcy and went to prison just like how I predict.

Back then there was this nice pastor that would hand out free breakfast and that keep me from staying hungry, sometime friends would buy me a meal but I normal would say up to you as I don't want to sound desperate. (Your money your choice, as a friend you wanna help me out that's great, but if u can't I'm not going to blame you)

Remember I used go to the vape shops and add juice to my tank, and I slowly takes puffs so I don't go empty so quickly.

Not a lot of ppl know I was homeless, but they do know I like to carry a big backpack cuz it was always a habit of mine. Also they know I'm very afraid of water, this is why I don't swim or learned.

Im not going to lie, I did believe that one day I was going to be homeless back when I was in high school. I believe I was a disappoint to my father and how he was going to be so pissed off at me that he kick me out the house. I just can't believe I turn out to be homeless cuz of depression.

Incorrect. My hubby's father disowned him as an infant. We just found out that POS died just last week. The hate was so bitter that an aunt had to adopt him to save his life.

sorry to hear rhay lady. look there are 3 sidesa to every argument, yours..theirs..and the truth. hate puts words into mouths, words uttered are like bullets out of a gun, they cant be taken back. i only hope that your life turns or has turned out well. past is past, today is alive, from hate comes a strengh inside you, use that strength dont let it use you, hoping you have a good day and at least one smile.

All I did was correct a statement. You cannot paint any category of people with the same brush. It's like saying "all rednecks only listen to country music", as an example.
