I have been following on Facebook an Orlando ex-teacher and Navy vet named Thomas Francis Rebman who went homeless for 30 days in Orlando and has since tried to create a movement to help the homeless in that city. It is enlightening.
I am not saying that the "homeless" in the Villages area have the same problems as those covered in this Facebook thread.
Some of the panhandlers around the Villages do to me seem like people scamming others by pretending to be homeless. That does not sound like case with this Orlando ex-teacher, Thomas Francis Rebman, and his experiences with homeless in that city. And, he has repeatedly made the point that very few if any of the people he met were slackers, mentally ill, or criminals of some kind. Most had just met with very bad circumstances.
I hope some TOTVers will check out his Facebook entries.
