Anthony - a photo on Flickriver

Anthony

            [Note: This was a conversation I had months before COVID-19.  I'm not connecting with anyone during this time].  
Anthony was leaned up against the side of a building with his cup, trying to make some money.  He's been homeless for about a year and a half.  He experienced one Chicago winter on the street and said he never wanted to go through that again.  He stayed in the warming shelter at night, and then during the day, he had to take his belongings and go elsewhere, as the warming shelter was a place to warm up as opposed to a shelter.  He was a good-natured man who was willing to chat.  What he needs right now are boots and gloves to prepare for the winter.  He has done landscaping in the past, but has been more limited now due to his age.  He wants people to know that he's a good person.  Incredibly he told me, "The street has made me a better person".  I suppose like Phoenix rising from the ashes.  He seemed hopeful and grateful for what he had.
