WE THE PEOPLE.....


^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Here in Cleveland, this is just another neighbor.
There are susposedly 10,000 people that reside in Downtown Cleveland.
Urban Dwellers.
Yet susposedly 3000 are Homeless.
This is the poorest City in the Country.
More than 35% of our population are living below the Poverty level.
More than 50% of the children here are living in Poverty.
Many of the Homeless on the Streets here have health problems, 600 have AIDS,
and more are Disabled.
It is Unknown how many are VETS- But is a large number.
Yes, From Gulf I and also Iraq.
Many are families, women and children. Many of the Homeless are Working Poor.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

I am an Urban Dweller.
I am currently trying to get a job at the Clinic Downtown that provides Health Care to
the Homeless.
Handing out change, sandwiches, soup, and water on my own is not enough anymore.
Working at the Clinic won't pay much.
But being a nurse to My Neighbors .....
That Matters.
They Matter.
