New York , the reality : Who could believe that this powerful city could have such a prehistoric administration , such dismisive practices against its citizens in need. While the government offers great monetary sums to overseas causes forgets about our families,our children, our brothers and sisters that no matter the circumstaces find themselves today in the hands of one of the worse bureocracies of this world. Forced to beg for services that should be rightfully implemented. Whatever happened to those winds of modernity that are suppossed to provide adequate help . It is time to stop pretending we live in the greatest city just because others say so, to become great the city has to change,the attitudes of New Yorkers too.Remember if the bottom breaks the content can't be holded no more.Anubishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09793464968844862283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468175154167862989.post-62394500173509286692010-02-20T18:16:11.588-08:002010-02-20T18:16:11.588-08:00Ivan I cannot CANNOT express to you how important ...Ivan I cannot CANNOT express to you how important it is to me to see someone reaching out and expressing their thoughts on this. I myself in the summer of 2009 had to up root myself and children and land in the Path Center to be placed into a shelter. And although our experience was rather quick and smooth it will be an experience I will never forget. It is an experience that has us still in limbo.<br /><br />Catholic Charties saved us and placed us into an apartment, but now with Section 8 no longer available I am fearful we will end up right back to square one once our lease is up.<br /><br />Being a parent strengthens you many ways but being a parent while struggling opens up much more courage and strength one could only imagine.<br /><br />Heres to all those who are struggling! There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Just remain hopeful and strong no matter how hard things may become!<br /><br />God Bless you Ivan for being who you are and caring so much.Da1nOnlyDestinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155031105302604386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6468175154167862989.post-66676115138285624772010-02-17T10:43:25.626-08:002010-02-17T10:43:25.626-08:00Thank you both for your comments.

They just vote to vote, most don't want to bother any more to change conditions that affect their communities and other systems. Its sad but True. The Coalition for the the Homeless is one organization that is advocating like crazy and needs our support! Thank you for sharing, take care!

I laugh at the so called reality shows that are out now. The real reality are in the issues that matter the most. The situation that you experienced is the real reality of this world.fortymasterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628684328217749579noreply@blogger.com
