It is Tim Again, I must stree the fact that for some people hbeing homeless is not their direct problem, it is rather a circumstance of their life, or they might have a problem's of different Kinds, which remind's me of myself, I have lived on the street's for eight year's, my fisrt four(4) year's spent on the street's of Edmonton, Alberta, the winter's were very cold, and I could not find shelter for the night, and it was my choice, I really did not want to help at this time, I thought I could survive, which I did by getting thrown in Jail for a few night's. then, after four(4) stint in Alberta, I moved to Kelowna, British Columbia, where I have stayed with other people, in and out of shelter's, and sometime's I would leave Kelowna and travel to other city's in the Province Of British Columbia, Revelstoke, Kamloops, sometimes back in Alberta, Calgary, And then back to Edmonton, and would stay with some street people, wom I should add some accomodation's, either a rundown room on the shady side of town, or some other rundown apartment block on the dragstrip, but I always came back to Kelowna for it was much warmer, and could stay with new-found friend's, mostly in the Kelowna Gospel Mission, but there is there is no one there that remember's me any more, for I'm Much older now, but the Memories are still fresh, Like a Special day that won't soon be forgotten, Life on the street's is not fun, it is not right, People on the street need our help, and The Mayor of Kelowna Need's a wake up call, and so does Gordon Campbell, the Criminal, whom I should say, Need's a wake-up call as well, to make room for low-income housing, better medical treatment for the homeless, the homeless are people too, they bleed, they cry, they have feeling's, and they derserve our respect, and our help.

My Name is Tim Groom, I live in Kelowna British Columbia. I'm really concerned about homlessness in my City, No, I'm not ashamed, but it really bother's me to see the poor and young Children on the street's, this is not the way it should be I tell you, each Person is I feel entitled to have a place to call home, and it would please me more if Our Mayor would see this problem for what is it is,again, I'm not ashamed for I too Spent many cold night's on the street's when I was younger. I feel that Homelessness should be eradicated, not a tempory fix, but a permanant solution should come to pass, Like Low-income housing, more shelter's, better sloution's to help people get oof the street's. I look at other people, and I see how they react to the people on the street's, and it makes me sick to my stomach, for the people that have everything want nothing more than the people of the street to just vanish, but that won't happen until a more proper solution to homelessness is resolved, and I DON'T mean get rid of them either, I mean let's lend a hand, and help out when we can.
