Redding Homeless Coalition - Why We Fight

The cold  razor sharp sobering reality of street life as a homeless individual is frightening.
I shudder thinking or mentally walking in their shoes , but to be sure nothing I phantom compares to their day after day reality.

Many ask me with a blank stare as I walk through their reality, "Who is fighting for us?

Walk a little deeper, love them a little more and soon the layers peel back and you discover Redding's rejected humanity pushed to the edge of the Sacramento river spiritually is like the Hebrews of the biblical exodus with their backs to the red sea.

Time for the Parkview tent camp is running out, What will God do ?

Veterans make up a surprisingly large number of Redding's homeless population. Unfortunately so many of them were exposed to an enemy far more insidious that followed so many of them home.

Can I say it without compromising the dignity and privacy of one example of many in Redding and Shasta County?

Agent orange .... Insidious... Back up against the river by a city that wants to make your remaining days miserable, Unacceptable.

Have I said it without saying it?

So if you can, please stop by Reddings Parkview tent camp and ask for Richard. Love offerings of food and other comforts would be greatly appreciated.


Why we fight ?  Just look for the homeless combat Veterans tent with the American flag...
