How To Really Conquer Homelessness

After three and a half years, I'm no longer homeless. Last September, someone finally hired me for a part time job.  I'm now an installer with American Greetings.  Me and my team disassemble and build greeting card displays in various stores.  the job involves a lot of physical labor, so i'm thankful I'm able to do this kind of work.  Also, I'm the youngest member of my team.  This allows me to contribute greatly to what is required when we we work together.  And I also enjoy the travel with…See More

The Life Saving Effects Of My Fiancee

A little over a year ago, I got together with my girlfriend who is in my life now. She is actually my fiancee. I proposed to her less then 24 hours after meeting her, and she thankfully said yes.At the time I met my girlfriend, my life had been destroyed. I had been harmed and betrayed by anyone I ever cared about and loved in my life.

Another Handwritten Letter To My Estranged Daughter, Hayley

A few years ago, I experienced a very bad divorce. In that divorce, my ex wife initiated parental alienation. I have a young teenage daughter now, who hates me, and is very angry with me, due to lies told to her about me by her mother and others.My daughter does not wish to contact me in any way. Yet I still hand write my daughter once a week, and mail these letters to her to my ex in law's house, since I have no idea where my own daughter lives now. In these letters to her, I never mention her…See More

The Hope Of A Lost Homeless Person

As of today, I’ve been homeless for three years. My father died last year, and left me over 11 thousand dollars, with a life insurance policy.  To a broke and homeless person, that is quite a fortune.  With that money, I bought some dentures for this girl I was caring for in Indiana, and I gave some money to the man I lived with in Indiana, who died last May.  The girl I rescued from Atlanta last year.  She was homeless there, as I was.  The man we were living with I met online, and he invited…See More

Living In My Car, After False Domestic Violence Charges

(for henrymakow.com) ATLANTA- A year ago, after 20 years of marriage, my ex-wife falsely accused me of striking her. I didn't touch her.  As a result of her lie, I have experienced arrest, incarceration,  conviction, and loss of freedom. I am penniless and lived in my car for three months. I ate out of trash cans. I now have temporary accommodation courtesy of a Veteran's Administration program for homeless men. I am 44-years-old. I had made good money as a pharmaceutical salesman for…See More

Handwritten Letters To My Fiancee Carol

My fiancee Carol lives near me now, finally, but I still hand write her letters often, and mail these with a card to her.  Daily, I fortunately speak with her on the phone, or chat with her often on the computer. But something happens, when I write her these letters.  I access something within me, as I share words with her. When I write Carol, I open a vein, and bleed my heart and soul on the paper.Three years ago, the life as I know it got destroyed by others, with deliberate intent. Since…See More
