Dear Anonymous,
Against all odds someone I recognize from the streets steps off the street and into a different life. And it is always stressful. And sometimes it works really well and sometimes it backfires because it's never just a roof, or just a job. It's more complicated than that. It's so much more complicated than this.
I speak with one young man struggling on the margins, stuck periodically in the eddies of street life, 'What do we do?'...and I don't know.
'Coffee cards and socks? 'I answer.
And he smiles.
