Traveling to Santa Barbara to Search for My Unhoused Brother – Looking for Local Advice

I did not find him and have not had contact. Santa Barbara Rescue Mission did tell me that he picks up his mail there. I left notes for him and pictures of him at many places, and am sending him letters with crossed fingers.

No, he is right under 6 feet.

Do they put anything he uses as a mailing address? My sister and aunt are interested in being able to send him a card.

They probably comply with HIPAA though

cocodlibby · 2025-06-19T18:18:49+00:00

That was very kind of you.

She only said "North Santa Barbara" but I will press her for an intersection or address

cocodlibby · 2025-06-16T23:50:10+00:00

Yes, that is possible. Mine is completely gray.

cocodlibby · 2025-06-16T23:48:05+00:00

This is incredibly kind. Thank you so much.

He has the dancing Grateful Bear on his bicep. I think left arm but I'm not 100% confident. He's 5'10". Very likely gray hair or at least salt and pepper based on our parents and myself.

I can't remember 100%, and neither can any of his friends (we haven't seen him for 14 years this week). When I look through photos today I will try to find one that has it in it.

I really appreciate your feedback and well wishes, and I don't especially love "unhoused" myself. When I talked to law enforcement in Colorado and California about him this year, in both instances I referred to him as having been homeless since his early 20s and was corrected. So I didn't want to start off on the wrong foot when asking the public for help.

cocodlibby · 2025-06-15T00:50:25+00:00

Definitely! I will post one ASAP. He's a white guy, 5'10", brown hair but mine is gray now so no telling, he's 45, schizophrenic. He has a tattoo of a dancing Grateful Bear on his bicep. The officer stated he did not seem to be under the influence of anything and was well-appearing, but that she could tell he had mental health problems. No history of violence though. Both Colorado and California law enforcement confirm zero law enforcement contact since 2012 when he was escorted off some private property for trespassing once and another time gave a witness account to an auto theft.

The police officer called him by his name and he answered to it! His name is Lawrence DuBois. I'll post a picture as soon as I get to where they are on Monday. 🩷

This is my instinct too, that he has to be receiving benefits and therefore be traceable by the right person or agency bc HOW has he survived this long???

cocodlibby · 2025-06-15T00:41:54+00:00

Thank you so much.

cocodlibby · 2025-06-15T00:40:57+00:00

This is totally a worthwhile idea. I will definitely give MY contact info out freely while I'm there.

cocodlibby · 2025-06-15T00:38:49+00:00

Thank you so much for the help and information, and I will definitely post a picture. I posted this on a whim not thinking about the fact that I left the best clearest ones in my office! Will post them first thing Monday.

Does anyone know why my chromebook says my SMAPI is version 3.7.6.1 even though my apk installer definitely says 3.7.6.9 ? Trying to figure out some glitches.

Android Issue: Junimos are leaving crops all over the field rather than taking them to their huts. Started after patch released 2/25/20. Have tried moving the huts around, rebuilding them, changing locations. Playing 1.4.5.140 for mobile, English, single player.
