I used to be religious, and my church required young men to go on a mission. I was poor, having been kicked out of my home for joining that church as a teen.
My bishop said I should still go on a mission. "God would provide."
Well, I spent 100% of my money on my mission and wound up back in NYC penniless. I guess God lost my address or something.
I drove a cab 18 hours a day. Sometimes longer. I slept in my cab or in a maintenance shed until I saved up $400 to buy a car to sleep in. I showered at a public sports facility. We had those back then.
Nobody knew I was homeless. But I live every day knowing I could be homeless again. It could happen so easily.
