    I lost my leg in a bad motorcycle accident last year an didn’t have insurance I had only had the bike three days , so now I’m homeless lost my house an every penny I had saved , got denied disability an it’s being appealed, so if I get a job I won’t get disability or anyway to get medical insurance an get a prosthetic, I have no one to help , I don’t have a drinking or drug problem I’m just stuck no way to work or anything, I slept behind a warehouse under a board lastnight, I have to be near some place with Wi-Fi to stay in touch with anyone,it’s been 14 months what do I do, yea I’ll admit I was in special education classes my whole life an didn’t graduate, I’m not proud of that , I wish I could get a desk job but all I’ve done is roofing an construction my whole life, I was working up until the day of my accident, I had worked 50 hours that week, now I’m using an iwalk an a prosthetic a man donated to me, but it was made for him an makes sores on my leg an it’s hard to walk around for a few days to get food or water

      Yes! Great ideas!
      I don't know why they won't turn those places into homeless housing..
      I know all too well how it feels to be homeless.. I'm lucky to be staying with friends, but otherwise have no home,, I hope to remedy that when hubby gets out of jail...

      It's hard to find affordable housing, and the strict rules that KCDC enforces makes obtaining affordable housing hard for some people..

      Bc it's all a shell for "funding" and the rich aren't going to give up that problem/money.
