From people who came through it
“A note for the next person. I was where you are in 2022. I remember when my phone is my lifeline, like it was yesterday. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. Praying for you.”
Barista V 91 · been through homelessness“Reading this late at night? I've been there. In 2023, that was me. It was sleeping in my car and I couldn't see past it. This morning I sang in the car. It's slow, but it does come back. x”
Nurse A 71 · been through homelessness“If you are just starting out with nowhere to sleep, I will not pretend it is fine. It is not. Your phone is your lifeline. Keep it charged. Find the places that give free meals. Learn their times. Be polite, even when you are exhausted. A hostel bed is not the Ritz but it is a door you can lock. Do not give up on the clinic. The line is long but it is a line forward. Some days you will want to quit. Just get through the next hour. That is all.”
stillbike88 · been through homelessness“Cuando empecé, no sabía si íbamos a salir. Pero se puede. Poco a poco. Busca ayuda. No tengas miedo de pedir. Los niños necesitan verte fuerte. Y tú necesitas descansar. No estás solo.”
