SEEKING HUMAN KINDNESS
After serving in the Marine Corps I ended up homeless. I also suffer from PTSD and other disorders I couldn't cope with on my own without the proper care. I then lost my job, my family and spiraled into a dark place. Being homeless I realized how very few people are kind to those in need. Sometimes, all we want is someone to talk to, someone to care and show human kindness. After reaching a milestone and with the help of organizations and veterans aid, I am now proud to say I am no longer homeless. JB Shandrew

HOMELESS PETS
