Hey, I'm Homeless - Why Discriminate Against Me?

by C. Henry Adams

In June of 2023, I was working for Briggs and Stratton - Advanced Battery Manufacturing, when I decided to make one of those life changing decisions and retire. Perhaps, to some people, my decision was irrational and a bit mentally ill. After all, who in their right mind would leave a $38,000.00 USD a year job (Not a Career) to pursue an American Dream to be a business owner? To some people, the thought, the action, the re-action and counter moves that one will experience could be considered insane.

But, what if your Plan A (Adams Henry Christopher Contracting, LLC ) did not quite work after making the above decision?

Then, your Plan B ( CHAAS, LLC ) did not quite work as well.

Then, Plan C ( Global Relief and Rescue Community, Inc ) did not quite work .

Then, Plan D ( HASPS ) did not quite work.

Finally, Plan E ( Neighbors Nephew Landscaping Services LLC ) did not quite work, too.

So, what do one do?

If , the late Marion Lewis Adams, Sr. was alive; he would have advised myself to take what did work to form a business plan to resolve the solution.

Sometimes, this task is not easy to accomplish. Fore, it might require one to truly humble themselves.

"A vulnerable population experiencing homelessness not only experience personal and economic hardship, but they also face discrimination and exclusion because of their housing status.

Although past research has shown that identifying with multiple groups can buffer against the negative consequences of discrimination on well-being, it remains to be seen whether such strategies protect well-being of people who are homeless. "

Discrimination and well-being amongst the homeless: the role of multiple group membership

Therefore, the only way that I could learn to better myself was to merely humble myself.

I put aside the pride to accept prayers and have truly tried for two years to learn unconditional love.

Hey, I'm homeless. So, why discriminate against me when I get hungry? So, why discriminate against me when I have no place of my own to sleep? So, why discriminate against me when I have no job paying me enough to sustain above $14,580 or https://www.healthcare.gov/glossary/federal-poverty-level-fpl/ ?

Sometimes, to understand people, things or even situations, one would have to experience them.
