Hi fedoraonmyhead@fedoraonmyhead That interview with the young man was absolutely heartbreaking. I can't imagine how he will make it out of homelessness with his current situation. He mentioned that he's going to school and that he has a goal to go to college for culinary arts. I hope he can accomplish his dreams. But i already know he has so many things working agasint him.

With his past, I can only imagine the obstacles ahead of him now that his mom has passed from an overdose. Where is his dad to help? This young man is not quite able to be completely independent. The family must be receiving some type of assistance because I see they are in tents, the young man has decent enough clothes, he attends school, and has a mobile phone in his possession. That I have never understood individuals who live in poverty, but has a mobile phone.

I don't know much about the tent cities or other type arrangements for the homeless. It just breaks my heart because the system that allows this type of humiliation for individuals is one that needs fixing. Not only widespread in every city and town in the U.S., but worldwide.

I can only pray for this young man and all other young adults and children in these type of situations.
