The wind whipped through my sweater this morning on my scooter. Lately, I have been sleeping with the windows open. These are harbingers of Autumn, a time of beautiful leaves and crisp weather, of bobbing for apples, trick or treating and the anticipation of Thanksgiving break…
Unless you live outside. If you live outside, it means finding another blanket or two, so you can sleep warmly at night. It means wearing three pair of pants and four coats. It means looking for a warm place to sit and wishing you could store the warmth, somehow, for later, when you will be in your cat-hole, shivering, feeling the cold from the concrete soak through the 5 blankets and into your bones.
This will be my third winter among the very poor of Raleigh, including those who live outside. Going home to my warm house never gets any easier.
we have some blankets we can share, I admitt I am an out of work single mom but I do have some extra blankets I will look and see what we can give, if you want them
