Jill and I discuss just how quickly homelessness can happen to anyone. She & her husband were both working, scrapping by day to day, and then the thing that has put so many people into homelesness, greed, reared it's ugly face.

There is frustration but hope within Jill and if, after hearing her story you feel called to help directly, her Venmo handle is @Jill-SanJule. Thank you for your generosity!

Here comes the story of Amanda, who had to leave home at a young age and has been struggling ever since. She's one of the working homeless, an even less discussed group of individuals who can't afford a place of their own, despite employment. Her struggles with family dynamics and mental health make for a more difficult situation, but she's determined to get out. Thank you for listening!

If you'd like to contribute to Amanda directly, her Cash handle is $mndybsstt. Your empathy is appreciated!
