DISQUS

Fabulous story! Just shows how even the homeless have their unselfish causes (raising a positive awareness of squirrels and opossums) as do those of us more fortunate.

What a breath of fresh air this story was... I have tried for many months to organize warm clothing drives for the homeless near my apartment (that "live" in Lincoln Park/Downtown) and have been met with an unforseen amount of roadblocks, and most unbelievably, the common thought exists that too much is being done for the homeless already. I admit, I became a bit disenchanted with not having enough to give-that is, until I read Daniel's article. The second I closed my issue I walked to the park with a friend with the few blankets and sweatshirts I had collected the last month or so. I suppose there will never be enough to give... I wanted to thank the district and Daniel de Boom for this story of awareness and love. The hearts of the people I have met in Lincoln Park are among the most beautiful I have ever encountered, and would not be the same without knowing them. Thank you thank you thank you for the re-found inspiration.
