HomeLess in AMERICA

I have a person in my life who has gone from total drug addict crimnal prisoner, to high profile contractor and pilot; a true rags to riches story. Only in america. He made the change about 15 years ago.  He went from homeless to homeowner,Jag and Harley owner and witness for Jesus.
Now he faces a long lingering painfulo death. He has end stage liver disease. He can not longer work as he is racked with pain. He has to have the fluids from his weeping liver drained from his belly on a weekly basis. And only in American can a man who worked since he was 15 and is now 51 is about to be put out on the street. Yes it was his own doing, or was it? He worked and spent his money he paid his taxes and spent his money. Now when he needs a little help from the people who spent his taxes they are dragging their feet. He is still waiting for disability, he has no money for food. He had to wait so long for medical that his prognosis has gone from bad to devasted.  He is trying to get on a list and is heading to Sanford shortly but in the mean time he has less than 2 months to move out of his home. Where will he go? ..................
