I am learning empathy for the homeless

[jerryaldini]

Hey Hydrae, this was a heartbreaking read, thanks for the courage to share it. Always knew you're a good man due to your awesome avatar. Also appreciate the title you used. Even for those who are homeless who got there by abusing substances, we don't know the backstory or their minds. Compassion is the way.

I always thought a Fred Meyer type gig would be a good job for retired folks just to get out and stay engaged. I really believe if you target this level of work you can overcome the ageism, and in the meantime could continue to pursue professional work.

You live in an awesome place and it appears have people in your life that will make sure you have a roof over your head. Wishing you all the best and looking forward to a later post after things are looking up for you again. Hang in there brother.
