Irsquo;m here because my fatherrsquo;s here at Refuge of Hope. Theyrsquo;re a nice group and they mean a lot to me. I called the homeless hotline but they close at 12. Last night I had to sleep on the sidewalk. I was terrified. I honestly thought I was going to die.br/With all of the government regulations and red tape, itrsquo;s hard to get into a place. And the government shuts down places like this. It makes it hard. They say the homelessness is going down, but thatrsquo;s because people like me get turned away and we donrsquo;t count in the numbers.br/Refuge of Hope 2014
