From people who came through it
“A year and a half ago I was exactly where you are. My phone is my lifeline, and I couldn't see past it. I've started painting again. You get yourself back in pieces. Praying for you.”
Jun Mb · been through homelessness“Dear stranger, i was in the same place eighteen months ago. My phone is my lifeline. That was my life. Last weekend I went to a friend's birthday and stayed till the end. You get yourself back in pieces.”
luciesouth94 · 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“To whoever needs this: I was where you are eighteen months ago. For me it was a hostel bed. My kids say I'm back. Things come back, slower than you'd like but they do. One day at a time.”
