Homelessness in Greensboro has a Voice
A friend of a friend has found himself in hard times with children in tow. Like an unfortunate many people who fall on truly hard times he finds himself on the street. The one thing that separates him from the other nameless and forgotten in Greensboro is he has a voice stronger than for just hitting you up for change at the YWCA or Cafe Europa. He has a truck, an minimum wage job, and A View From the Sidewalk.
Read his story, and at the very least think of him and his when the nights are cold and wet. Best case contact him if you need a graphic artist, or know someone who does.

Woody,
ALL of our friends on the street have faces. And names. And voices. And few of the many I've met will "hit me up" for change. Although most will ask if I know anyone who's hiring.
I am so sorry that your friend and his children are experiencing homelessness. Those of us who love and serve the homeless would welcome the opportunity to assist them. There is help available.
Would you be able to set up a time and place for us to meet him? I'm an executive board member of the Homeless Prevention Coalition of Guilford County, which represents most of the agencies and non-profits which serve the homeless in our community. Please let me know. And I am already praying for this family.
Peace, Michele
