Last night a couple of teams got the rough end of the stick by a few rough sleepers. It can be a bit hard to take when we are showing up each day to be of service. I think there are two key things to keep in mind. 1) One swallow doesn’t make a summer. The gratitude we are received with outweighs these few incidents many many times over. 2) We are dealing with a group of people who carry the most trauma in society. Combine that with having been shutoff from everything for 2 months makes it easier to accept why some are angry at everything right now.

A close friend had a chat with her local vicar who said she is doing 7 funerals a day and several of them are the final farewell to people who died on the streets. I’ll find out if the vicar can share more.

Under One Sky is a “delivery service” of compassionate connection and material necessities. We don’t have the structure to be a long term care solution, that is why we have been all over StreetLink since we started. I know it is really hard to look someone in the eyes after hearing the horrible circumstances that led to them being on the streets and then not being able to do more than giving out our attention, water, coffee and wraps. What everyone of us are doing on the walks is connecting with homelessness at a much deeper level than the rest of society. Instead of taking in discouragement from our limitations in offering relief, let us use these experiences to commit to fighting for eradication of homelessness for as long as it will take.
