A great follow up story (thank you, Fitz) about Patrick Fealey, the fantastic writer who did a first-person story for Esquire about living through homelessness. If you get a chance, take a look at his story - it will stay with you. There's a gofundme, and some good news now.
🎙️R.I. writer has received outpouring of support since account of being homeless. On the #RIReport podcast, Patrick Fealey talks about the Narragansett family that found him a hotel and set up a GoFundMe page. He urges “empathy and kindness” for those on the street

A fantastic morning at Meeting Street for a ribbon cutting on a new building supported by the Early Childhood Care and Education Capital Fund, New Market Tax Credits, DHS, DEM, EPA and The City of Providence. It really does take a village - and some dedicated funding partners!
