Homelessness is one of those issues that can get lost in all the other issues in this world. But, I feel like you I could easily be in that position. <br /><br />The project in Sacramento is wonderful and the mayor is definitely worthy of honor for actually trying to help people going through this. @Villager Thank you for bringing “Am I Not Human” to my attention.

Toya — Thank you very much for sharing this blog post with us. I recall a very good novel by James Gresham that focused on the plight of the homeless in the Washington DC area. It is one of those issues that is easy to ignore. However, I must admit that I think about it … miss a few months of client contracts and I would be in bad shape.

Anyhow, I hope that others join us on the 27th of each month for this online activism effort.

peace, Villager

And like I mentioned I can't contribute very much but I try to offering something. Volunteering is a great idea. That is something all of us could try to do. It would definitely make us more appreciate of what we have by seeing first hand what others experience. @Gigi Karma Hey GiGi thank you for the comment.

No doubt it has made you a much more empathetic person. And your case goes to show that the homeless are not always people who have put themselves in this situation or just vagrants who don't care to work. It literally could happen to any of us. I think if more people realized this they would be a lot more considerate of other peoples situations. @Cheri Paris Edwards Your personal experience touched me.

Thanks for the comment. It seems like some people in power just choose to ignore this issue which is easy to do when they have never considered what it is like to be one of them. How is this issue addressed where you live? @Dhiman Hey Dhiman! Thanks for the comment.

And sadly while the homeless population grows attention to their plight seems to be diminishing. @PurpleZoe Thank you so much for presenting such a forum as “Am I Not Human” to bring awareness to the terrible things that are not in the fore front of the news.

I enjoyed your post as well on http://reedwhatmatters.com/2009/10/am-i-not-human-homelessness-sacramentos-anti-camping-ordinances/readwhatmatters.com. It's unfortunate that we live in such an uncaring world that people don't look after the needs of other. It is a basic right for people to occupy certain places when they have no where else to go. This is a grave injustice. @Jennifer Thank you so much for the comment.

I don't often think of the homeless. Only when it is so cold outside that my teet are chattering as I unlock the door to my house, and once inside, proclaim "I'm glad I'm not homeless." I can at least volunteer at a soup kitchen this holiday season. Its the least I can do. Thanks, Gigi I was reflective after reading your article on homelessness. I don’t often think of the homeless.
