Marie and Leo, 49 and 53

Anybody can end up homeless … we never thought it would be “us.” We make the best out of our situation and do what we can to keep our small community clean. We try to enspire others to never quit. It’s been tough but its going to get better. Always push what’s inside you. Leo B, 2-Paw, Biggie, Marie B.

You should ask us not the people who dont understand our situations about how to fix or improve things and stop taking away our cool houses. We work hard on it
