Four Minutes With On The Dot

When you finish today’s On The Dot, we hope your heart will be filled with a bit more charity. We’re talking about a tough subject—homelessness—but one that’s important to discuss in the hope that we can learn how to make a positive difference in the lives of those affected by this all too common plight. There are myriad reasons why someone might find herself or himself without a home at some point in their lives, and you may be surprised by how many of those reasons hit close to home with you. Losing your job or falling behind on student-loan payments—something many of us can relate to—are just a couple examples. Other people become homeless because medical issues resulted in mounting bills, while others simply may not be able to afford the rising cost of housing. Today, put yourself in their shoes. Consider life from their perspective. Let your compassion flow and listen to how you can help. The post Nancy Fairbank: She’s Advocating for Homeless Youth appeared first on On The Dot Woman.
