Against All Odds

| After my discharge from the Navy, I was walking around
mentally ill. I lived in the streets and later at the VA Hospital for
almost a year where I slept on a heating grate. When it rained I went
inside the hospital and hang out incognito. I guess after a while they
thought I was a patient. With the help of section 8 I am now able to
rent a room in San Francisco’s Tenderloin. I treasure this security. I
have benefited from having been homeless. I do not take anything for
granted anymore.
