5 Months Later.

hi.
So this is kinda late... like 5 months late...
Anyways, towards the end of the UTSA year, I went "outreaching". KFC was offering free food (cause Oprah loves friend chicken) and we decided that we could give the free food to the homeless near downtown San Antonio. We had to split into groups of two. So I went with Joann. And we walked toward this park near a hospital.
1st encounter: Maria, or Gloria. Her story was unreal and breathtaking. She was homeless, hanging out with her boyfriend. She lost her son when she gave birth to he baby. Right after he was born, the doctor found out that she couldn't financially support the baby, and therefore took him away from her. Maria was devestated by the decision and kept asking for her baby boy back, but found no progress. She was so depressed that she resided to suicide. She pointed at the hospital window of the 17th floor where she almost fell until the police took her away. She would also cut herself under her leg (she shows us the scar) but finding out that it doesn't help ease the pain she bears.
2nd encounter: Ed. So yeah, I just started editing this like 5 months later and my memory has been kinda slim. So I don't remember all the details. He came all the way from Michigan and I think with his son. and he got stuck here... i think. I TOTALLY FORGOT!
3rd encounter: A lady that works at Wendy's. She had some problem with her body and tried to go to the doctor, but did not have enough money to pay back. She was in a tough situation.
Okay, this totally did not work. 5 months later is not good.... But yeah, homelessness is serious.
We gave food and water though, so that felt really good, giving to the community and all.

I'm really sorry for not remembering anything. All I know is that I learned how difficult it is to start with nothing and try to build your way to the top.

Over the summer, I
Drove Donald's parents car for 5 minutes.
Did not buy a longboard
Played RE5 for not so long.
Kinda played L4D (Can't believe this is what I wanted over the summer...)
Did not go fishing. sad.
Cooked Spaghetti and baked cookies.
Did not go anywhere nice in America.
Europe was a blast though.
