I have suffered homelessness for, well decades actually. But this is not a sad story, there is sadness, but it is a story of resilience, a story of hope and dreams, a story of working toward stability, and i mean hard working every day.
For the past 10 years, i have been on skid row. I was homeless another 3 years in Pasadena, and for another 10+years (maybe 14), in various locations.
On skid row, this was where the VA put me, to help me with my poverty and dire situation of homelessness. I was in 3 different shelters for about 4 years before getting, what i called a little closet. i have almost been killed several times on skid row alone, and several weird instances. One of those instances, there was a man who tried to stab me with a BFK, this story is linked.
I will likely make another post about that
Well, so i finally escaped skid row, and have been living in my very own house – PAYMENTS ARE STEEP 2/3 of my disability pension, so i will do everything i can to try to navigate a way to pay this down so that at least the payments will be 1/3 or less. Any help you wish to send in gift cards – always very much appreciated:

So let me give you a little virtual tour – with some footage i took – it is not the best – i need a new phone and iPad 2 12.9 inch for art and writing the book i will finally be able to finish.




Since i have been moving here, and a few friends have already helped – we put all new locks and handles, still have to do the garage etc. and i want to instill some cameras – though it is a very secure place already. So here is some pics of some of many new neighbors. None of them are smokers, so good for my heart injuries and possibly some recovery for heath problems. Also, some of the neighbors i have yet to capture – are the bunnies that are in the front yard sometimes… the doe – a pair of them, and of course the mommy, and donβt forget the one who was in the back yard and just hopped over the 4 – 5β tall fence.

Here is another one of her, crawling on my art work




That is all for now – just the visitors – i have a few vids – but, i will save them for next weeks posts with anything new to report. So, in closing, if you want to get me a gift, i add to this wish list registry, and i will take suggestions, especially if there is a classy gift you wish to give that i have not listed – i do have a few things that are huge. Like a kitchen remodel, a solar panel installation, a guest house, etc. Those are the huge items i wonβt put on here, but there are items i am hoping one sponsor can get, or many sponsors teaming together. Remember – AUGUST IS MY SPECIAL MONTH. Maybe you want to share these too with hollywood and the like, of people doing it well, or even very well. Otherwise – please do send a gift card to my new mailing address – which is different from the registry.
