I was homeless in 2008, then I received help from my current psychiatric care provider, a charitable not-for-profit organization that treats people with severe and persistent mental illness. They put me up in transitional housing after I got out of the psychiatric hospital.
I also developed a problem with drinking and received help from AA.
I try now to give back, though now all I can do is donate money. Before covid-19 I did volunteer work for AA, maybe 4 to 16 hours a week. I just wish I could do more.
My sister and brother-in-law get on to me about giving money away, but I feel like it’s something I should do.
Just donated $10.00 to the homeless shelter. Last night, I gave $10.00 to AA. Right now the preacher is on TV talking about Christian generosity. I’m trying to donate to those who help people.
