I'm so sorry you have experienced so much loss. The old cliche "one day (hour, minute, second) at a time" really helps me when I can remember to apply it.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Seeing Agent Orange on screen makes my skin crawl. Is there an app which will replace his image with puppies and kittens (preferably one which is easy to install and use)? TIA
