Steveno: Be creative. If you were homeless and had to stand on a street corner with a cardboard sign, what would you write?
It's hard to say, until you're in a situation, you really never know what you'd do. But this is what I hope I would do..... I wouldn't be standing on a street corner with a sign. (Unfortunately, many people ignore those in dire straits). I'd go to a gas station, clean up a bit, go to a police station asking for the location of a homeless shelter, and as soon as possible start filling out applications at fast food joints, (eat for free and still get paid money to take care of bills, etc), department stores, taking a job to do anything and everything I could to get on my feet. It wouldn't be easy. I'd pray for strength to get me through this and to not give-up.
I know this was probably meant to be a humorous thread, but I know someone who was homeless at one point in her life with 3 kids. So I took the serious route....
