Homeless connect

August 14, 2013 -- This was my fourth time nurse-volunteering for this worthy cause. We make a big difference for our 5,000 homeless here in San Francisco.

The work is fascinating. It's a peek into a world much bigger than panhandlers and sleepers in doorways. Most of its denizens are invisible to us home-full (non-homeless?) folk. A surprising number of them have jobs. In their world, there is not as much misery as you might expect but of course lots of mental and physical illness. As volunteers and nurses we do what we can but the problems are deep.
