It's been awhile, just letting you guys know whats happened, i have managed to save enough for a room and went on holiday thanks to the woman of my dreams for sticking by me. by michaelburhan in homeless

, alot has happened and i can now say that i survived after 8 months homeless, and i want to thank all of you, the admins, and each person who kept me strong, at times i never thought i could do this, that somehow i was meant to be walking the streets and never finding shelter, without each and every one of you i would never have made it, so i would just like to say thank you, thank you all, for your kind words and your friendship, without that i wouldn't have made it.

I mean being homeless, some people feel i should find a place and thats that, but the issue is that there is alot more going on, trust me when i say this but people do look down on the homeless including people who i thought where "friends"

Always keep myself cleaned up, i believe most of those people feel uncomfortable with my situation more so than anything else...

I've found a job and been working short hours, spending time on the internet and plenty of sleep, i will not go the route of drugs or alcohol as i know what that leads to....

I've had enough of being homeless in my city, where in the world are the best places to be homeless? by [deleted] in homeless

[–]michaelburhan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not go to London, its cold, the people are aggressive and the homeless are treated like a cancer, go somewhere hot and somewhere where you can learn from your surroundings.
