Sleeping with the Homeless

So I arrived in Chicago today for a job and had some time to kill. It was a beautiful day so I decided to take my camera and go sight seeing at the Millennium Park. I left my hotel which is located on Chicago’s Magnificent Mile. As I began walking appreciating the sun on my face and a pep in my step, I noticed three homeless people within two blocks but still kept up my happy pace. Unfortunately seeing homeless people has become normal. But still I was happy to have an opportunity to to check out Chicago even if only for a few hours.

I passed the famous Chicago River Walk and on the next block saw another homeless person and then huddled up in a doorway were more homeless people. As I turned and looked at them, I was stunned by what I saw. A mother and her two children crammed in this small space. What was even more amazing to me is that the kids were doing their homework. I instantly felt a pit in my stomach. I continued to walk but my pace slowed significantly and so did my mood. I tried to keep walking and not think about the family I just saw but I only got about twenty feet before I had to turn back. I turned back and as I stood there the mother did not immediately notice me because she was correcting her son’s homework. Excuse me I said. She looked up. Please pardon me. I don’t want to insult you but I would like to give you some money. Would that be okay? She said yes. I handed her the money, turned and walked away.

As I walked away I was very thankful that I have a home. But it didn’t feel like I had done enough. I was walking and thinking about what I could do. I don’t live here so I can’t really have an impact. I approached a Walgreens and saw the icon for a Chase ATM. I went inside and withdrew some more money. I went back to her and told her that I wanted to give her some more. She thanked me and then began telling me what happened to her. She is from the South and she left where her home burned down and moved to Chicago. She was working and then she lost her job and as a result lost her home. This story is all too familiar. Most of us a a paycheck away from being in the same situation. Sometimes they can stay in a shelter but right now the shelters are overcrowded and sometimes they have to sleep on the street at night. She said that she was hoping to get enough money to stay in a hotel for the night. As I stood there two other people came by and gave her some money. I was hopeful that she would be able to collect enough. I was used to seeing individuals on the street but this was a family. A mother and her two kids and I was heart broken.

Then I realized there was something more I could do for her. I asked her if I could take her picture because I would like to post it on FB so my family and friends could pray for her. She agreed to let me to let me take the picture. I told her that we would pray for her to find a job and a place to stay. So that is what I am asking of you. I am asking you to add Davia Radcliffe, her daughter and her son to your prayer list.
