Getting a handle on homelessness of African-Americans and other minorities is even more challenging. "Even though the majority of the homeless still appear to be white, what we find is that African-Americans are over represented in the homeless population," said Nan Roman, director of the National Alliance to End Homelessness. Roman and others who work with the homeless say blacks make up anywhere between 30 percent to 40 percent of the nation's

One would normally think of poverty as a disease that needs to be eradicated by all means possible; however the opposite is true for Jackson in Sherman Alexie’s, what you pawn, I will redeem. Instead of putting a lot effort to save every single coin he gets so that he can manage to buy back his grandmothers dancing regalia, Jackson chooses to spend it all on alcohol and friends. The little money he gets form people he spends all of it and he returns back to the original situation. Saving enough to get the $999 required is a hard task, but one that can be achieved with proper planning and discipline. His actions is a physical manifestation of the typical Indian poor boy growing up in a foreign country. Instead of focusing on how to make more,

One sunny day on the busy streets of Chicago, a homeless man walked down the sidewalks scowling at nearby street peddlers. He went by the name of Richard Walker, better known as Rich, which was very ironic. He walked down the sidewalks through different people, catching sections of their conversation. “Look at Rich! Don’t give that old homeless man any money!” Although Rich was well used to it, didn’t mean he took it lightly at all.

Sarah, I am so sorry about what happened to your brother, sometimes a family is not able to step in to help, due to many reasons. I hope, by now your family has healed. I too liked learning about the different types of homelessness, and I feel that the chronic homeless are perhaps the mentally ill and the ones addicted to drugs, but I should be careful in making assumptions, because even normal people could become chronically homeless. I too think we should help them and it weighs heavily on my heart. However, I am so pleased that there are people like Donavon Smith helping the

The military honorably discharged Juan Moreno giving him a medal for protecting the battalion. Juan goes home to his wife and tells her the bad news and he tries to unsuccessfully adjust to civilian life. For example one day him and his wife go to the grocery store and Juan was wearing his military uniform and they come across a young boy with his dad who sees Juan’s medals on his suit. The young boy asks his dad if Juan Moreno was a hero? His dad says yes and the boy thanks Juan for being a hero. Juan grabs the boy and looks ready to snap his neck but Juan’s wife named Cindy begs Juan to let him go and that he was just a kid.

Miami is full of selfishness, ruthless, and uncaring people.Here people do not care about others they do not care if you are alive or dead, fine or sick no matter who you are people ignore others. The study was split in to three categories: caring for the community, the vulnerable, and the workforce.I would like to talk about caring for the community, why we talk about Miami in the world nobody cares and I am sorry to say maybe we are one of them which is my opinion. These days our relationship with any body are weaker than ever and the reason is people spend time on social media websites this is one of the reason people do not care about others. In Miami more than 70 percent peoples are Hispanic and they may face difficulty in the past in

Once there was a crazy homeless man named Fredrick. Fredrick, although homeless, ran a preschool and made a decent amount of money. He just had a personal preference of living in a cardboard box rather than a fancy house with real plumbing. One day, Fredrick had just finished up for the day at his daycare and decided to start heading back to his cardboard box in his brand new lamborghini. While he was driving, he decided to take a different route. He turned left instead of right at an intersection and decided to go on an adventure. After about five minutes, Fredrick came across a bridge. Once he drove on the bridge, something felt different. The atmosphere had changed. It was dark and spooky, with not a single car to be found. He

Everything in life is a matter of perspective. The villains and heroes that we encounter are decidedly their roles because of how their actions affected us and how we chose to interpret it at the time. Upon later reflection, anyone and anything can be noble or corrupt. An example being when I was in the seventh grade, a woman named Michelle moved into my life. Quite literally, since she moved into my family’s house about two weeks after meeting her. My mother, being too generous, offered her a room when she was homeless.

Just recently, one of my teachers told our class “There's a story behind every face.” This line made me remember a particular face: the face of the man at the end of the alley. The man at the end of the alley is homeless, or was homeless. He moved away at the end of last year. He was a tall black guy with knotted hair, a beanie and fingerless gloves. Every morning on my way to school while driving past him, my grandfather and I would wave goodbye to the man until he disappeared as we rounded the corner. Everyday we would wave again when I returned home from school and saw him in the exact same spot, as if he never moved. Then he would wave back and, under his huge beard , you could see the biggest smile anyone could ever give. I was surprised

Once upon a time, there was a man who owned a large house with a lush vegetable garden in the front yard. During the night, a homeless man snuck onto his property and began to pick carrots to eat out of the garden. The homeless man, hunger fulfilled, decided to live in the owner's garden shed and hide in fear of being caught by the owner. In the morning, the owner checked his crop and noticed the missing carrots, but disregarded it, at first, though it was his only source of produce. Over time passed, the homeless man would eat vegetables out of the patch, but cared for and watered the crop with the owner's tools. One day, the owner finally found the homeless man, whom was stealing his crops and trespassing in his yard. He was angry with the

I enjoyed reading your post Travis. I do agree with many of your view points like, "judging a book by it's cover", and our society is based on convenience. I have compassion for homeless people, because as a child I grew up in that environment. My experience and wisdom I gained, was that anyone can become a victim of homelessness. Many people don't understand or even take the time, from their busy life, to even say Hi. The life our society portrays of the "American lifestyle" is the major reason why people rush, and hurry to make that dollar. Many place money and success as the priority of their life, and things like faith, compassion, and even family time are considered a waste of time. If people took the time to look at people as humans instead

I just saw the video and my reaction was sad. Because the barter was mean to the man that was play the role of the homeless man. How do you feel you would have reacted had you been a customer sitting at the bar when this situation happened? If I was there as a customer I would done same as the good man that brought the homeless man a burger. Even reacted like the good old man that want to call the police on the barter that want to take the money way from the homeless man. Why? Because the homeless man actor was not do any wrong their the good woman took in the restaurant give the money so he can get something to eat there, So that was his money and all he want was some to eat. He is a person too so has the right to eat at the restaurant too.

As I walked into my grandmother's home, I was greeted by the smell of fish and the sound of soda fizzing. I felt nervous as I see my uncle John that I haven't seen for a while. We don't really talk that much, mostly because he’s always busy or of course, work. Since he moved from Gilbert, Arizona to Layton, Utah for his job, he is still very close to the family, knowing that he’ll still visit, we will still miss him every time. He is a Electronic Engineer, and services machines that helps cancer treatments. He had difficulties in life when it came to, working and studying at the same time because he had to accommodate his personal life with his school life. He worked 12 hours a day and went to school for another 5 hours. He struggled with going
