"Because I went through a crisp homeless winter. It wasn't easier, but I did it. I only survived because I stole a lighter from some person on the street and light piles of newspapers or small branches I found to keep warm at nights." I tell him, remembering the time fondly. "Okay. Now I have to ask you stuff," he chuckles. "You know my situation better than anyone." "Sit," I gesture. He takes a seat, me sitting opposite him. "I'm assuming you had clothes you either had on or brought with when you figured out you were now house less." I nod. "But, um, how did you get this job?" "Good question," I smile. "Well, thought the 11 months of being homeless I did apply for jobs, I got nothing back because there was no way to contact me. So I found …show more content…

"I clean up in the bathroom sink when I came in, and I brought decent clothes with me because I knew I would be applying for jobs," I told her. "Give him something nice to wear," she smiles. I nod.
