Homeless Memorials
In Memoriam
RaeAnn Champaco

"She was no bigger than a whisper," said Debbie D. at a memorial service for RaeAnn Champaco. But RaeAnn's , a stabbing in broad daylight at Freeway Park, shouted louder than words.

(as copied from an old froend)

Sometimes, like you, well like you that you hold back in telling me a whole lot,

I get really down too.

A case worker at DSHS will not listen to me about that I don't work at UPS anymore, i don't get a weekly paycheck of 88.00 dollars.

It is important because he approves or disapproves my food stamps.

So he'll is going to disapprove my food stamps because the computer software he uses that shows verification of employment on the Internet says I still work for UPS and I got paid last week and every week since then 88.00 dollars.

Yup, I liked your H'scope from yesterday too. You like it how it said for you to embrace the changes in your life. Don't think I didn't catch your meaning about you changing and me changing. I never said that I couldn't change more and I know you didn't think that at all. If I say anything more about changing it would be too much talk. Everyone wants me to change even more. They want me to stop drinking but they can drink to abundance, or because they stopped completely i should. You think i should.

Jerry Mazer panhandles last February at Jefferson Street and Nichols Road in Kansas City, Mo.

NOT MUCH SPARE CHANGE HERE

Passed in 2008
Nashville. The Metro Council voted Jan. 15 to outlaw aggressive panhandling. The ordinance also banned panhandling after dark or near ATMs, sidewalk cafes, business entrances, bus stops and schools.
