- I'm homeless but you don't need to be afraid of me.
- I'm not evil.
- I'm not a drug addict.
- I've never committed a crime.
- I'm not a sociopath, or a homicidal raging maniac.
- I'm homeless, but I'm working hard to make ends meet.
- I am homeless, but I've not lost my faith in God.
In fact, it's getting stronger.
- I am also a strong survivor.
- I'm motivated to make things better,
and make things better for myself and start again.
- I am an artist. I am creative.
- I'm a U.S. military vet.
- I was diagnosed with bipolar.

That's all I can say, and I blamed everybody for it.
It breaks my heart, but all you can do is try again.
- We're all humans.
It doesn't matter if you're homeless or not,
if you're gay, if you're straight,
if you're black, if you're white.
We're all human. We're not trash.
- I'm striving to survive every day.
- Everyone out here is just one paycheck
from being on the sidewalk.
- Anybody can be homeless at any moment of the time,
through a natural disaster, through a divorce,
through abuse,
through anything that you could basically think of,
any situation that life brings us.
- You don't even have to give money,
you know, just a nice gesture.
A "Hello, how are you" makes anybody's day.
It makes my day.
- If you pass me on the street,
show respect and we'll show respect.
No one here wants to be mean to no one.
- It just helps knowing that we're still part
of the community and that people care.
- Money doesn't define a human being.
- I'm homeless but I'm still a human being.
- I am homeless but I am a human bieng.
