How do I stay motivated and connected to our work helping the homeless? Well, consider this: every day, and I do mean every day, a homeless woman comes by and rummages through the garbage just outside my office window. Some days she finds something to drink or eat, other times she just keeps going. I’ve tried talking with her to get her help but she’s clearly mentally ill and won’t speak with me. It’s definately frustrating and yet it motivates me to keep trying to reach out. There are a lot of people who need our help, even if they don’t want it just yet. Here is a clip of her rummaging through the garbageSend an email to julietl@trm.org if you are interested in serving food at the Tacoma Rescue Mission.
