The year I was homeless (Cristina Peralta)

Becky Blanton is a writter and a journalist. She learned to be invisible because three years ago was a worker homeless. Her father dies and she starts to travel and lived in a camping with her cat and rottweller. 

First, she has time to relax but then she starts to thing about her life, about the things that she had and has now. And arrives to the conclusion that the society values and qualify a person for their home.

Thousand of people work full and part-time jobs, and live in their cars. But society continues to stigmatize and criminalize living in your vehicle or on the streets. So the homeless, the working homeless, primarily remain invisible.

But if your ever meet one, engage them, encourage them, and offer them hope. The human spirit can overcome anything if it has hope.

I think people are not where they live, where they sleep, or what their life situation is at any given time. I think that everybody needs hope always, because it's the best way.
