More often than not, I see young people experiencing homelessness on our streets while I’m going to and from work. The ones I see rarely have signs asking for help, and their pets are usually in better shape than themselves.

In 2005, I lived in Houston, Texas and had an opportunity, along with most of the rest of the city, to help with the Hurricane Katrina evacuees. I spent weeks getting up every morning at 3AM and heading to the Astrodome complex or GRW convention center to volunteer.

My daughter has a very rare genetic disorder. It causes physical and intellectual disabilities. She doesn’t really have friends, so birthday parties are not a thing for her. We have found other ways to make her birthday special, like going to a baseball game and handing out cupcakes to people sitting near us.
