Good Evening;
I started this blog in part as a way to say Thank You to the people of Baltimore who take the time to stop and see the homeless and acknowledge them as human, and to those who go the extra step and reach out with a meal, money, clothing, a blanket......and sometimes just a nod or a moment of conversation.
The link below will take you to the story by Jaques Kelly in the Monday online edition of the Baltimore Sun,
(or in the Tuesday print edition...Pg. 3 Front section)
about a 17 year old young man named Bobby Weinstein who has done that and more. He has started a program called "Heat For The Streets" that has collected and distributed first coats, then bags and backpacks, sleeping bags, and toiletries.
You are familiar with my oft repeated mantra;
"Cold Weather Sucks"
that is echoed by most of the folks I have met on the streets also.
Thanks to Bobby and his efforts...it sucks a bit less for some of those out here.
Later...................Dave
