One of the hardest things in life is dealing with being homeless. I once was homeless and what made it worst was my children were homeless with me. Here's how I made it through.

on 9/12/2008 Thanks for sharing Telika. I've been there too with my son and it was my faith and prayer that got me through. I stayed in that shelter for 31 days then moved to where I am now. It is not easy but doable. With God all things are possible even when it doesn't seem like it. That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

on 7/26/2008 Thanks for the reply. I understand they could not afford to pay all that you owe. But could they have somehow prevented you from becoming homeless? Could they have paid your rent for a few months? A church I use to attend in my City takes in approx. $600, 000 / yr. I live in Canada and this information is public knowledge if you are a registered Charity. The church I attend now www.calvaryottawa.ca takes in allot less than that and the pastor offered to pay my rent. I just think that something could have been done before it got to the point where you would have to live in a homeless shelter. If Church, friends and family cannot intervene (WWJD) and prevent one from becoming homeless then what good can they be later on. In that case I would omit step 3.

on 7/24/2008 I understand where you are come from Pmci but my family friends and church simply could not afford to pay all I owed, that was my responsiblity I lost my living situation because I was laid off from work. But I am doing excellent now and I think God was showing me that I only needed to rely on Him and have faith. I am living a very blessed and successful life now. www.myspace.com/beyonditallmag
p.s. yes the cab was provided through a program I guess through the state.

on 7/8/2008 "I had a free cab arranged..." How did you do this? Was this something the state provided? "Don't have too much pride to seek out family and friends help." If you had real friends and family you would not be in this sitution in the first place. "But I made caring friends through the church I attended..." That is a lie. If you had caring friends through the church you attended then again you would have been able to prevent the situation. See what happened to Esmin Green. Where was her church when she lost her job, apartment and waited alone in a psychaitric hospital waiting room for over 24 hours and died there?
