Dear Anonymous,
'They stole my phone. The screen was all cracked and it wasn't worth much but it had photos of all my kids on it....
Who DOES that? If that's how bad it is,
that you gotta steal a broken phone, and leave me without pictures of my kids, maybe it's time for detox...'
He's making his way back home, up the coast. Trying. Today's phone loss is unfortunately common from what folks share. And there's often that one item people experiencing homelessness covet and need to get through the day. In this case a phone; scrolling through the pictures of his kids can provide comfort, connection,relief and motivation in some cases.
Coffee cake, a coffee card and some dry clothes help. A backpack. A pair of socks.
Everyone, trying to find their way home.
