Life After Homelessness

Yesterday I shared an excerpt from Anne Marie Walsh’s blog “formerly homeless in Chicagoland.” Today I found a post by someone else who also discovered her site.  Here’s some of what he had to say.

Yesterday morning I shared via Twitter that Twitter had enabled Walsh, a homeless person, to be an agent for help and change. Yesterday afternoon Walsh thanked me, to which I tweeted back thank you for the inspiration.

I was inspired enough by Walsh to find her Pads Chicago’s Blog :The Voice of the Chicagoland Homeless Community.

On the site I found that one way to help her was to add value to Walsh’s Starbucks card. This morning I added $15.

Maybe you’d consider helping Walsh like this as well. You’ll not only be helping her, but the other homeless people Walsh helps through her social media efforts.

via Twitter enables me to help homeless woman in Chicago.
