Serving Others - Ex Homeless Man

I met a 56 year-old guy today who has now devoted his life working full-time in a homeless shelter so he can help others and inspire them to better their lives through his life story. Just 3 years ago, he was hooked on crack and other drugs living on the streets. 20 years of his life was spent homeless and in prison 3 different times. He told me that one day, he decided that he needed to learn how to ask for and accept help.

I met a homeless man today

I talked with a homeless man today as well as gave him some money to get food. Hey, we all need to eat! He shared 3 things that stuck out to me.
1) He had a life of constant let downs. He shared stories of how his family and friends didn't follow through on their commitments to him
