Dear Anonymous,
Been another rough week or so. He is still struggling with finances to make up for the financial consequences of a relapse last month. No money for a cigarette. He wants to quit but cannot manage with the additional stressors, because it's his coping mechanism. Like it. Or not. And pretty much this morning I am grateful he has SOME coping mechanism.
He collects a bag of socks to help distribute, some ponchos. He grabs a big Carhartt sweatshirt and throws it over his jacket...and he is warmer.
He watches over the men who come and go for socks or a coffee card, or a blanket. He ' is at my back '.
He says 'Some of these guys are grateful as all get out. Some ain't. I seen alot of awful behavior out here. But even then, if they're cold, I'll get 'em a blanket.'
