Cut Off Assistance

This will probably not be posted. But anyways. Homeless people are not all drug addicts. People have to understand. No clean clothes, no good appearance = no job. Heck. It is hard being on income assistance just to help out. If you do not have an address. You do not get accepted. Where do they live. On the streets. I feel for the homeless. I am almost there.

I soon will have to take my 4 year old son on the streets to live with me. Due to being sick. His mom abandoned him. I have been really sick. Now I get cut off income assistance. Just because they do not believe this. The government would rather see people be homeless then help them. Yes homeless people may turn to drugs or booze. That is just to avoid suppress.

Kelowna has gotten so bad that if you do not dress right. You cannot get hired. It is sad. Don't get me wrong. My business was successful but I moved back to my home town. In short it is not the homeless faults usually. Yes some may turn to drugs and booze. What else is there. No one will accept them in society. So, when people see me with my son homeless it was not my fault for being sick it was the government. There is no I's, and or buts with Welfare. I pray and hope to see the homeless that actually want to get back to being stable.

D.T.
