Spend some time with the handwritten notes on what people lost in sweeps. Heart-wrenching and infuriating.
My tent was taken also my blankets, cooler, food, perscription medicines It made it harder for me to be comfortable in this heat and took my shelter away from me made me feel less safe my Husbands ashes It made me feel alone scared, empty, now I wonder where he is and if he’s all still in his urn and if he’s ok and I hope he’s not in the dump I had my kid’s baby shoes w/me since we became homeless. It was all I had left of them & they are w/family. The police/city took them w/the rest of our stuff it broke my heart I have lost everything clear down to the clothes on my back. I now wear a purse that I wear 24-7. I have no trust and I live like an animal and have serious mental issues because of it, help it get better,
