Another sad situation that I don't have any answers to. It would be a nightmare for me as a young mother not to have a safe place for my child to sleep. As I get older, I have far fewer answers than questions.

When I volunteer at PADS (that is the name of the homeless shelter program) the hardest thing to see is kids who are homeless. Fortunately we don't see a lot of homeless kids, but we do get some families every season (October through April) who are homeless. Imagine taking your child or children to a different church each night of the week for food and overnight shelter, then having to leave the shelter at 7:00 a.m. (those are the rules in this program). Not a good situation at all.
