Surviving the Streets Have you ever passed a homeless person on the street and wondered why they choose to lay on the sidewalk instead of going into a shelter?

Also, some homeless people have jobs that often conflict with their work schedule and the hours of the shelter. Many shelters help by providing beds at night, but to keep a bed you must check-in. Check-in times can be as early as 6p.m.

This means there is a curfew for clients who want to stay. If someone's work hours went over the time of the curfew, they might lose their bed. This is usually the policy for most shelters for good reasons like safety and to help homeless addicts from night time temptations of buying and using drugs. However, there are a few shelters that make exceptions, if the time is before midnight and the client has proof from their employer they are working.

Therefore, the needs of a homeless person are as equally diverse as the number of people who are homeless. Not everyone shares the same hierarchy of needs. So, it might be a little unfair to classify someone who avoids the shelter as being 'shiftless', 'lazy', or 'pitiful'. Next time you see a person living on the street, consider that it might just be another means of survival.

If a homeless person chooses to stay on the street or their car, sometimes it is because they don't have to deal with living with unfamiliar people and the problems that occur. For example: drug use, sanitation issues, bugs, violence, and theft. Even though most shelters have rules against drinking alcohol or smoking illegal drugs, there are some people who sneak drugs in. One homeless man refused to stay in a shelter because of an experience he had with lice. It is also not uncommon for fights to break out in shelters because of the stress of trying to survive under hard circumstances. Imagine having to sleep with all your belongings on, in hopes that no one would steal them while you sleep. A person who chose to stay out of a shelter wouldn't have to worry about dealing with a large crowd of people pushing and shoving for a place in line to get a bed for the night.

By the same token, some homeless people avoid shelters altogether because they don't want to be separated from their family, significant other, or pet. It is true that some shelters are designated only for men, thus women and children are not allowed. And this is true for women shelters where men and children are not able to enter. Some shelters may allow single mothers with children (male or female, if under 18), so fathers or boyfriends would not be allowed to stay the night.

Written by: Lyn McCoy

Since shelters usually don't allow visitors, a homeless person would have to plan to be away from their loved ones to receive service. Pets for some people are considered family and some homeless people refuse to enter shelters if it means they will have to be apart from their cat or dog.

Survival Items 1. WATER BOTTLE Keep a refillable water bottle on hand. You can get a courtesy cup from any fast food restaurant like McDonald’s or Whataburger. The gas station, Circle K, will allow you to fill up a bottle that you already have.

2. GOOD PAIR OF SHOES Since a lot of your time is spent walking, it is important that you find a good pair of shoes to wear. Find some that properly fit to ensure that you forego painful foot problems in the future.

3. APPROPRIATE CLOTHING Wear light colored clothing. If you layer clothes, be sure to wear some that you can easily switch with ease. Keep a light jacket on hand in case you need it. Choose clothes that can be easily seen when you are out at night.

4. BACKPACK A backpack is useful to store your belongings. Choose a smaller backpack because some stores will not allow you to come in with a large backpack.

5. USEFUL TOOLS FOR EVERYDAY USE Be sure to keep things on hand like a can opener, scissors, a needle and thread, cigarette lighter or box of matches, pen and paper, and a small tool kit.

You can Survive: - 3 minutes without Air – 3 days without sleep

4

You can Survive: - 3 days without water – 30 days without food

6. PLASTIC BAGS OR TRASH BAGS These items can be used for storing food, toiletries, or important papers like your ID. Large Plastic bags can be used to lay on the ground, so your sleeping bag doesn’t get wet. You can also make these into a rain coat by cutting holes in them.

7. SLEEPING BAG A good sleeping bag is needed whether you stay in a shelter or sleep outside. It’s lightweight and compact so it can easily be carried around as you move from place to place. Keep it clean as to not attract pests like bed bugs or ticks.

8. TRAVEL SIZE TOILETRIES Keeping up with your appearance will make your self feel better. Hygiene products like shampoo, conditioner, soap, razors, wet wipes, deodorant, etc. can be found at your local supermarket or gas station. Sometimes shelters even pass these out for free as well as a free shower to clean up in.

People will respond to you more positively- to someone who takes pride in their appearance, even if they are homeless.

9. HEALTHY FOODS Find out where you can get a warm meal from a local church or shelter. You should know the days and times they assist with giving away a hot meal. Have on hand healthy snacks like: peanut butter, granola bars, crackers, tuna kits, jerky, or trail mix. These items are lightweight and do not need a refrigerator. Also choose water, juice, or Gatorades.

10. FIRST AID KIT It is important to keep a few band-aids and antibiotic ointment on hand. Also keep a supply of safety pins, gauze dressings, cleansing wipes, and tweezers. You may also want to include sunblock or insect repellent.

DETERMINED TO BE

Homeless Youth and the Power to Overcome through Education “Education is a fountain of life for those who will drink!” These are the vivid words that rang in my

One inspiring story was captured through CBS Atlanta. A very determined student pressed his way to graduate High School. Despite being faced with the issue of homelessness, and lack of family support; Dukes obtained a 3.0 GPA and successfully scored a 24 on the ACT.

head when I began this article. I encountered some of the real-life stories and epidemics concerning homeless youth in the U.S. There are three pillars enforced at Humanity Magazine: Understanding, Resources, and Education. Truth be told, many of our homeless need only to sharpen their minds in the areas of expertise. This will help them secure gainful employment. An educated person can normally go much further than an uneducated one. [1]

Fred states this about a friend from school, “I sometimes had the option to lay my head on his back porch if I needed to.” Things got much more challenging for him as time progressed, so he ended up in a homeless shelter. His high school science teacher, Mrs. Lloyd sobs as she recaps to reporters about the teen’s situation. Although many obstacles could have interrupted his accomplishments, Fred was yet determined to graduate.

Individuals that have a lower level of education are more prone to be at higher risk of unemployment, and poverty. For many homeless youth and children, homelessness can disrupt their efforts to stay in school and often leads to dropping out despite their desires to remain in school. In many cases, once on the streets, returning or continuing school becomes a real challenge.

As parents, guardians, citizens, and humanity in general, we all have a part to play. We must instill in our youth the value of respect, using creativity for good, and appropriating their time wisely whether during the summer, off seasons, or during the school term.

According to NBC News, 1 out of every 30 American children and families are living on the edge of poverty. That's about 2.5 million youth according to the study from the National Center on Family Homelessness. Just over half are younger than six years old. These numbers show us how youth homelessness has severely increased in the United States!

Obstacles may come, but we must be willing to press past them. No matter how hard it seems. We should be determined to make a difference in this world! Interfaith Academy Resources is joining in this effort to enforce excellence in education for our youth. They are providing materials to help students in need to accomplish their dream of graduating high school successfully. Visit us at www.InterAcademy.net to gain access today!

The Victorious Mindset When we think of animals being faced with danger, the first thing some might think they do is run away in a panic. Though this may be true, in some cases it is more common for prey to do the opposite of this. Studies show that many species can escape by simply keeping calm when they sense danger. When they keep calm, they can clearly assess their surroundings and come up with a cleverer plan to successfully escape. Some species are even known to run directly towards their predator to catch them by surprise. For these animals to be successful in their escape, they must remain confident in the fact that they can make it out of their situation alive.

When we as humans are faced with trouble we must remember to stay focused and not get discouraged. Granted, life can many times throw unexpected curve balls. It is in those very times that we must remember not to be afraid because there is always a way out of our situation. If we put our faith and trust in God, he will always give us peace in the middle of the storm and show us a clear way out.

A man on a mission Hm interviews Michael Kimberl

Recently Humanity Magazine(HM) caught up with Michael Kimberl, director of the Alfred-Washburn Center.

Before taking the position of director, Kimberl had been a volunteer for nearly four years, and has been serving the indigent and homeless community since August 2001. The Center is located at 31 Murphy Lane in Pensacola, FL. Its hours of operation are Mon, Wednesday-Saturday, 8:30am-1:00pm.

HM: Where did the Center get its name?

Kimberl: The Alfred-Washburn Center is a ministry of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. It was named after two of its most selfless members, Bernard Alfred and Chester Washburn. These men dedicated their lives to serving the poor in the community. Both were humble and wanted no recognition for their work. However, when choosing a name for the Center, the Society decided to honor these men.

HM: How long has the Center been servicing the homeless population in Pensacola?

Kimberl: The Center first opened its doors in August 2001.

HM: How many people are helped by the Center?

Kimberl: When the Center first opened, they served an average of 35 people a day. Today, the average is between 150-180 people a day. On its busiest days, we serve an average of 250 people.

HM: Does the number of clients served differ in the summer months from the winter months?

Kimberl: The numbers generally remain the same. The clients we serve in the winter may come from migrant workers following farm work or who are in transient. Many of them leave colder climates like places in Detroit or Philadelphia. It is more tolerable to live on the streets in 50-degree weather as opposed to 15 degrees below weather.

HM: What are the services offered at the Center?

Kimberl: There are four main services offered: Laundry, showers, sack lunches, and the mail box center. The Center also provides hygiene items, equipment, tools needed to fix bicycles, first aid items, hair dryers, and hair clippers. On Mondays, we offer clothing to our clients from our clothes closet. We have sleeping bags, tents, and other useful items needed for their survival as well.

HM: What are some immediate concerns of the Center? Are there plans to expand?

Kimberl: The biggest concerns are [the lack of] supplies and volunteers. We are a fully volunteer driven organization and we depend greatly on the number of volunteers to help serve our clients. We would not feel comfortable about expanding too much without more volunteers. We are always looking to expand. We are currently leasing the property near the facility. We are using it for parking and the clothing closet, but still there is room where a tiny home village could be built for low income housing. This could be for those on fixed incomes. We have some clients who are retired or disabled that would benefit from affordable housing as well.

This will also ensure it will not deplete all their monthly income.

HM: That's a good idea. Mr. Michael, we appreciate you for your time. We can see that you have a passion for what you do to serve humanity. Finally, what can others do to help? We know you have said it to us before, but can you tell our readers?

Kimberl: They can simply volunteer and make donations to help. We can't do what we do without volunteers. We are thankful that HM understands what it means to be homeless. There are so many misconceptions about what homelessness looks like. I am busy on the front lines and it's nice to have people like the team at HM. They allow the community to be aware of the issues surrounding the homeless and poorer members.

HM: Thank you for giving us this opportunity. We can’t say that enough. And thank you for the work you do.

For more information on how you can volunteer, contact Humanity Magazine.

We can direct you to Mr. Michael Kimberl.

Road to Success

Kelly Brianne Clarkson, born April 24, 1982, rose to fame in 2002 for being the winner of “American Idol”. A lot of people may know of her music, but many would be surprised to know what she went through to get to where she is today. Before her success on American Idol, Kelly moved to LA, California to pursue her music career.

Rags to Riches Many of our favorite musical artists started out homeless. Some include: Jewel, Ella Fitzgerald, Jennifer Lopez, Lil Kim, Hollywood Anderson, Shania Twain, Pitbull, and Kelly Clarkson (as mentioned in the

previous section of this article). Music was used to get them off the street and on to stages all over the world!

Music is very therapeutic for many people. It allows us to take our problems and put them into beautiful, inspiring, motivational songs, lyrics, and melodies.

This brings me to another powerful story of a gentleman named “Donald Gould” from Sarasota, FL. He was a homeless, U.S. veteran, who became an overnight musical sensation after a viral video was posted of him playing “Come Sail Away” on a piano. The world was stunned by this man's incredible piano skills and his talent took him from “rags to riches”. He now has a home, steady income, and a life that seems to only be getting better. When interviewed by FOX News, Mr. Gould says “It passes a lot of time and I'm homeless; that's my hustle

out here”. Thankfully, Donald will no longer have to “hustle” because he has made a name for himself and is very successful because he used the gift that God gave him, which is the gift of music.

If you are currently in a homeless situation, there is hope for you to overcome. Do not be afraid to use your gift. It does not matter if your gift is singing, playing an instrument, or even songwriting. There is hope for you and there is success waiting for you to claim it!

Coping Through art therapy Many homeless individuals are either teens or adults. Some are abused, harmed physically or mentally, or even put out of their parents’ house at a young age. So, most of them often need a way to cope or relieve themselves from this situation.

Believe it or not, there is a way that will not just help those who are homeless cope with their situation, but it has been known to take some individuals out of the situation of homelessness.

This homeless survival tool is known as Art. I do not mean just drawing or painting, but even music and dance.

It is said that many teens and young adults going through homelessness have faced some type of trauma. Art enables them to find an escape or an avenue to overcome this problem. Studies have shown that by giving the homeless community art as a way of escape it has not only given them hope, but it has also helped them manage their stress, stay focused, increase and enhance memory and so much more!

According to The Renewal Project (made also by Allstate), an organization known as Art lifting has helped many homeless individuals overcome this issue. What is Art lifting? Art lifting is an organization that showcases and sells artwork created and designed by artists who are or went through the situation of homelessness. For example, an individual named Scott Benner struggled through the situation of homelessness for over 4 years, but his gift and talent of art and the opportunity to sell his artwork on Art lifting has allowed him to find housing.

There is hope for you if you are experiencing homelessness. Just as we have seen, something as simple as art can bring you out of this situation.

Since 1979, Gospel for Asia has been committed to serving the poor and needy in Asia.

GFA supports national workers serving as the hands and feet of Christ in four main ways.

Sponsoring national missionaries to minister to people’s needs, sponsoring children, investing in community development and helping families in need of care or during disasters. One of the ways that GFA national workers help break the cycle of poverty and make the word aware of Christ's love is by providing things like clean water, income producing farm animals, sewing machines and vocational training.

Gospel for Asia is giving hope to the families of impoverished villages to help break the cycle of poverty and share Christ's love in Asia.

Millions of families across South Asia are stuck in the cycle of poverty. Often without easy access to education, medical care or even reliable employment, these families have little hope for the future. This suffering isn't just relegated to one family but exists for entire communities.

14

Gospel for Asia is already serving in many of these poor areas, identifying specific needs and blessing families with items that help them fight the burden of poverty. Investing in these families makes community growth and development possible.

Gifts of animals, sources of income, and community facilities can be donated to invest in the livelihoods of communities across Asia. Animals help produce income for a family. Smaller animals’ offspring can be sold, and larger animals can be used to plow a field or pull a cart. Sewing machines, fishing nets, rickshaws and more allow a person to create their own

and well-being of an entire community.

Community Development goes far beyond just meeting a community's physical needs. These income producing gifts and life-improving tools are tangible examples of Christ's love and more than 200,000 families have embraced the love of Christ as a result.

The transformation of an entire community's economy comes through love and care. Because people are committed to investing in and practicing the most effective ways to develop these communities, the people have hope.

International Mission Update

Next Stop:

Kenya, Africa We have partnered with an organization called Take Heart in Kenya, Africa. We will be delivering our services there in April of 2019. We hope to meet these children’s needs by providing a well for water, and moving them into a safe, reliable environment. Take Heart cares for widows, orphans, and others in the community. Thanks to the owner, Jill, we can communicate and help make a difference in their lives. We look forward to helping them and seeing what God has in store.

Bullied for Being Homeless Homelessness not only affects adults: it also affects our children. Being homeless as a young adult has been known to take a huge effect on self-esteem, relationships, and education of the child. Principal Akbar Cook saw this affect when he noticed a teenage girl fighting school security when they tried to check her bag. The police informed Principal Cook that the young student had dirty clothes in her bag; she was homeless and did not want anyone to know. It is painful to state that rather than books, she had dirty clothes. This further opened principal Cook’s eyes to the tragedy that surrounded him. Many of the students were being bullied simply because they did not have a place to clean their clothes. He noticed students that sat in the back of the classroom bullied other students because they smelled or looked unclean. He also realized that because his students were being bullied for being dirty, they would skip school three to five times a month. This resulting in approximately 85% of his students skipping school on a regular basis. Principal Cook knew that something had to be done about this. He first began by making school uniform colors darker, so that students could go longer in between cleaning their clothes.

Sadly, students were still struggling to keep their clothes decent enough to enter school grounds. So, in 2016 he applied for a grant of $20,000 which would enable the school to install a free washing system for students. The free student laundromat would be open for use on Sept. 4, 2018 the first day of school.

At first students had to use whatever soap products they could get their hands on, but now, thanks to sponsors, they have been blessed with a plethora of donated washing detergent. Now these students can go to school free from being ridicules for a situation that they cannot control. After all, they are just children.

Health and Hygiene It is important to stay on top of oral health and general health while on the street. Homeless populations are vulnerable to tuberculosis outbreaks and other serious health consequences from poor hygiene.

There are things you can do to protect your health and eating clean can be a part of that.

Instead of eating out of trash cans or dumpsters, you can try to find food closets and soup kitchens. You can always also try to carry plastic cups , because disposable cups and utensils can help improve hygiene when opportunities to wash dishes are limited. When sharing a drink, you can pour it into two cups, so you are not also sharing germs.

Staying hydrated is not just about getting enough water. You also need enough minerals. Try to eat oranges or bananas or drink orange juice or Gatorade every day.

See if you can find a homeless services center that offers free showers. Look for truck stops that offer a shower for a few dollars. Get your hair cut as short as possible. When you are grimy, instead of doing laundry and the like, you can find a new t-shirt on a clearance rack or at a dollar store and spend $1 or so on a new shirt and throw the old one out.

Good places to look for public bathrooms are beaches, malls, public libraries and federal or state public facilities, and sometimes airports.

Managing Editor’s Note My name is Connor Powell, and I am the managing editor for Humanity Magazine. This edition is designed to inspire you through words and a visual representation of what we stand for. It’s also a helpful guide to your local shelter if you are in need. I hope you got some helpful survival tips along the way!

I am very grateful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing organization. I look forward to helping, encouraging others, and building relationships with those that I encounter. Be sure to keep up with Humanity Magazine and see what we have in store!
