Remembering the past:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t believe in coincidence. A lot of people helped me. Officer J from Miami Beach Police bought me Burger King, sandals, and clothes. He referred me to New Hope so I could get treatment and housing. I was in tears. And I was only homeless two or three weeks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Call to Action<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you find yourself homeless, always stay active\u2014network, go to the library, talk to people. You never know where you will find help.  <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
