homeless...

I had no idea that there was a shelter nearby. I think that is awesome. Opening doors to people from all different backgrounds, and with problems of many scales, would be very difficult. It could even be dangerous. But, these people need somewhere to go, esp. in Maine (it's cold for like 75% of the year). It would be costly to feed them, and it would be difficult to turn people away if there wasn't anymore room. I would definitely volunteer there if I could find the time. I would like to talk to some of these people... maybe they haven't had the chance to tell their story to anyone. I think everyone deserves the chance to tell their story. It makes people feel valued, like their life is worth something. If they didn't want to share that would be fine... but, I think a lot of people would.
