I'm producing a short film about people who don't plan to vote in the upcoming election, and we are trying to include homeless people in our group of interviewees. I was wondering if you might be able to help connect me with some interview subjects. Email me back if you can! Thanks. I Clare.

Can someone pick these up from me? Where is your shelter located? I think the kids could use this offer. Bobby I have several large green garbage bags full of clothes and one with shoes.

Me and my child are currently sleeping in the parks at night sleeping on the trains and right now its fall and the weather is changing getting colder and colder as each day goes by. They feel like by us staying somewhere we are not wanted at like how can you force someone to move back to a home the head of household dont want you at. I'm a total reject to the homeless services and really cant do nothing about it but sue them. If anyone can help us in the situation that me and my child are in right now being rejects to the dept. of homeless services and barred from applying at all please feel free to contact me @ nicnac2645@aol.com I can relate to that because as of right now i’m still homeless and dont have nowhere to go.

The service organizations DON'T DO A DAMN THING to help the homeless. The Mayor's plan to reduce HOMELESSNESS is a sham at best. What the shelters do is refer you elsewhere, and then erase your name from the their attendence, and thus it's "ome less homeless person being counted". Therefore, the homelessness in NYC is being reduced. Wake up. Please. UHO at least is giving the homeless a chance to put money in their pocket. What are you doing to assist those less fortunate? Contact the UHO and fimd out more about them. Also contact an organization called Picture The Homeless (a Grass Roots Advocacy/Homeless Rights group). Dear Mariusz,

I feel like nothing. To know that you will die or to even have the knowledge of wanting to because you feel as though you dont have anything to live for. Is it the parents? Its more then that, and it always gets deeper. As individuals we will make an opinion on what we think is right. But the truth is, we will never really know how far we can get . If you feel that you dont have those tools around you , you will die and shiver on the luminating streets. But hopefully , one day there will be a different type of help. One where people can find harmony and peaceamong each other. Until then, we will continue to disregard all aspects of life, and just live like the animals that we are.
