Heart Attack In Women I'd been walking around with burning in my chest for a few days, thinking I’d pulled a muscle, or somehow inflamed the breast bone. I went to the doctor who took an EKG, saying the heart was getting less oxygen, but nothing different from my past EKGs. I left the office thinking if it was the heart something bigger would have shown on the EKG. Once home, I decided to...

Developer Plans Homelss Camp. Many against it. Is this the Rich fighting the Poor? Why do people think Homeless ones are unsightly, and will destroy the neighborhood? What happened to love your neighbor/brother/sister as Youself?God Help Us. I live in a Homeless Shelter and have met Colleg Grads, Military Vets, and some beautiful people in my stay of six months.

The day I crossed the street. Today one of the women told me she’d take me across the street to the store to get money orders so I could pay my monthly fee at the Shelter. It turned out I saw her back go out the door leaving with someone else, and figured, Okay Rose, now you need to do it alone. I went to the bathroom, feeling anxious and lightheaded. I sat on the toilet and said, ‘okay...

Homeless Shelter's precious momentSeated in the TV room waiting for dinner when I hear ‘Rose L. please report to the kitchen.’ ‘Darn what the heck do they want now,’ is my first response. I get up from watching an old movie with a couple of other women and head to the kitchen. I’m slightly dizzy because of the hour and haven’t eaten since noon, when I had a peanut butter sandwich...

Country club to Shelter living Homeless Shelter, scary words for me. I came to the Women’s Shelter a little over four weeks ago. I came not wanting, but had no other choice. After neck surgery, I put $10,000 on credit cards, paying doctors and hospital bills. I knew the $600 a month from Social Security would not allow me to pay bills, pay rent, and eat. I pictured myself in a card board box,...

Hi Folks, I'm writing this from the Senior Center in Orlando. For those who have wondered where I've been. I'm living at a Homeless Shelter at 68 years old. Needless to say, things have gotten bad for me. Neck operation costs much more than I thought it would, and I'm in debt up to my ears. Thank God I have a roof and food, but boy, do I have things to say about Homeless living in Florida. It's an...

Homeless Woman 68, part 2 This will be my last update on what’s happening. I’ve just finished a follow up to the first Youtube video ‘Homeless Woman’ 68 years old. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v I made the video mainly to thank all who have tried to help me in one form or another, by prayers, money (which I refused), setting me up with roommates, etc. I for some reason have chosen...

Homeless woman at 68, follow up. To all my friends on GrowingBolder and elsewhere. First, I want to thank all those who have given me advice, or have tried to help me in one way or another. I have met some wonderful people on this Internet. People who wanted to send me money, and had never met me in person. People offered me roommates to live with. But I have found that the small...
