It made me
more independant 
How I did it: I ran away from home for a bit and I had a new place that I couldn't move into quite yet. I had to wait for the end of the month, so I put all of my stuff in my car and drove three hours away to my friends house and I had an amazing time meeting his friends and being patient and even taking care of him when he was sick.
I later stayed with other friends and again with more friends. Read how I did it… 2 years ago

Don’t need to do THAT ever again! But it did teach me compasion and we did survive OK. So, I guess there was a reason for it… but I don’t think I’d want to do this again if at all possible! 4 years ago

Started thinking about how to make this one happen without being too selective and it being a sham. Made some decisions about how I will make it happen and still survive intact. This one is a work in progress 4 years ago
cafegroundzeroEven one day is hard; one week and I was worried I would get trapped
Yet thank G-d, the extraction was successful. I managed to use a few minutes left on my calling card, and thanks to the kind folks at Hardees on the Ogeechee Road outside of Rte. 516, and inside the Chatham Parkway, I used the minutes on their phone to call my wife, who with the children came and got me.
I will draft a report tonight, to send to the Mayor’s office, to the County Health Department, to the state department of Children’s and Family Services, and to the state senator and representatives for Chatham County to Atlanta.
We need to develop and enforce existing or new health standards for shelters. We need more shelters. We need a day shelter somewhere in downtown Savannah. We need programs to transition the homeless to permanent housing, and to monitor their progress one they have moved to this more permanent housing.
We need immunization and disease reduction programs. We need nutrition standards when feeding them.
And perhaps more simply, shelters need towels, clean socks and underwear, washcloths, sun block, and more. 4 years ago
