Nice!<BR/><BR/>I'm currently, with a friend from Spain, starting a homeless charity here in Amsterdam, NL "Manos Abiertas" which focuses on feeding the homeless here. 1 in 200 people in Amsterdam are homeless (4,000) and shelters here can only accomodate 600 people. 82% of the homeless are Dutch. 29% of these people are 'dual diagnosis' patients and 25% are on drugs. The mean age for homeless here is 42.<BR/><BR/>Unfortunately for Amsterdam, often viewed as a very progressive city, our homeless ratio is greater than that in NYC, Paris, Berlin and San Francisco. Uh, shit!<BR/><BR/>Regardless of how they become homeless (veterans, mentally ill, violence in home, illegals, etc) we've got to do something to decrease the number of homeless people (assuming they want to be in homes- there are many here that choose to live on the street).<BR/><BR/>So, anyway, this was a nice post! Keep working to help those who need and want it!Infuriated Faggothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03954057246518407364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-6440495058397530882007-11-12T03:46:00.000-06:002007-11-12T03:46:00.000-06:00Another beautiful post, ABB -- bringing me to tear...Another beautiful post, ABB -- bringing me to tears. <BR/><BR/>On another day, I might just say I'm a mushy old bitch, but today, I'd say these tears are well-warranted.PortlyDykehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598941981828041835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-31121690158927490252007-11-11T16:23:00.000-06:002007-11-11T16:23:00.000-06:00Thank you.

He had a green coat with lots of pockets, shaggy brown hair and crutches. His legs sort of dragged behind him and he was surly-but-silent when he panhandled. I saw him regularly and he oddly reminded me of Jesus. A beggar, sent to teach us something we couldn't learn in class. Every time I saw him I wondered if Jesus came back as a homeless vet how long it would take people to recognize him. I adopted him as my Christy's devotional and gave him the change regularly. We never spoke. I wonder what he's doing now ... <BR/><BR/>Great post.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-56731456867049119242007-11-11T14:14:00.000-06:002007-11-11T14:14:00.000-06:00And if only WWI had ended all wars!If only we took...And if only WWI had ended all wars!<BR/><BR/>If only we took better care of our veterans.Maya's Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12183715043200608144noreply@blogger.com
