Bob used to be homeless. I have had the chance to spend a lot of time with Bob and listen to his stories, as he’s shown me his new home and some of the places he used to sleep. Being homeless he spent about a year living in a storage unit until some one living near by complained and called the police on him. After that he lived in friends garages. He was mugged a number of time by both strangers and “friends”.

Bob has a string of health issues, some of which he has suffered for most of his life. Due to the cost of health care and insurance many of these issues have been ignored until very recently. He’s now stably housed and gets free health care but is unable to work or drive due to his health.
