The Struggles Of a Single Homeless Mother.
The struggles of a single homeless mother. Will not lie. Things have not been easy for my daughter or myself these past eight years. We were homeless in California for several years because of how hard it is to find housing. A number made me promises of people who said they would help us but then never came through. We thought we would come to New York and live a different life with another person who said they were my friend and would help us, only for them to turn out to be not what they represented over the phone. She did not keep any of her promises.

Life In Pandemic Times
As the Christmas season comes around once more and the year is drawing to a close, I cannot help thinking of how fortunate we have been this year. Many people have to live from day to day and do not know how they will take care of themselves or their families. I lived that life for many years before I came to Hope Gardens. So, I know how many feel in these uncertain times. I got through it, though, and landed on my feet. I know many will, too, because we are survivors.

Life InThe Pandemic Times
I am going to be talking about unfairness and racism today. I never thought I would experience it in my life because of how I am and what type of person I am, but I have. California has been a wake-up call for me and not in the right way. I must admit that I have never experienced racism in my life until I moved to California. I come from Alaska, and it was never something that I knew. In California, though, it seems to be all I experience regularly. On the street, I stand at a walk sign and have people move away from me multiple times or ride a bus or sometimes even walk down the street.

Life in the pandemic times
So school has started once more, and it is back to the same old same old. I have to admit I had high hopes that things would change slightly with the end of the vacation. My hopes were too high because my kid is already stressing me out with not listening, attitude, and constant disrespect of what I say.

Life in the pandemic times.
So I have to start out by saying I am fortunate to live where I do right now because our place is secluded and has remained safe from the pandemic for the most part. With that said, I am going to jump right in and state that this Covid-19 life has been very trying.
