Meredith has finally made it. After losing her job and a bad divorce ten years ago, she finally got off the street Thursday night after eight years being homeless with the last two living on the sidewalk in front of the District Court building at Hotel and Alakea Street. Much Aloha to John and his street ministry for helping find her a bed in their home. She called me Wednesday to help her get some of her bags into storage which she had saved money for. She had so many suitcases and trashbags filled with all her Worldly possessions. It took two days to get her bags sorted. She was able to throw away a lot but still had a lot.
Her beautiful friend, Renee, who is deaf, guarded her bags while we transported them back and forth to Richards Street to fill the car. I had to push a cart filled with bags and suitcases for about 75 yards. People were staring at me because I was dressed somewhat nicely but looked like I was homeless pushing my cart down the street.
