I don't know if you guys remember my post about the homeless woman named Liz that stays outside the supermarket.....Well, she disappeared about 6 weeks ago....I was really worried about her....The weather was below freezing and you all prayed and sent her good thoughts.
Well, today as I was ready to leave the supermarket there was a woman that looked like her "sort of"....I'm thinking, it's maybe her sister or something until she says hi, and how she's missed me.
It turns out that she became very ill and was hospitalized for over a month. She was obviously also put back on her phyc meds....She was clean, her hair colored, eyeliner, lipstick, and a beautiful new coat....Her face has a healthy vibrant color, and she smiled the entire time we talked.
Now that she is leveled out with her meds., this was the first real conversation we've had in years.....She told me that she was once employed for years by Westinghouse, and worked for a time for NJ Transit.....Then she told me a fairly complicated story about how she became homeless...
She now is now placed in an apartment and starting over, collecting furniture and such....
It all came down to almost losing her life, to have her life return back to her....Maybe not like it was before becoming homeless, but a heck of a lot better than it was a couple of months ago....She's beaming, and glowing with a new chance.
Thank you all for sending all your kind thoughts to her.......My heart is bursting with happiness for her.....And I hope all of you get an opportunity to change things for the better for yourselves also!!!.....No-one deserves to be homeless, and no-one deserves to be in pain all the time.....Blessing, Debbie

Thanks for sharing it.
I wish we heard more stories like this - it's sad that she had to get sick to get help. I pass a woman every morning who "lives" if you can call it that on a bridge I cross on my way to work every day. She is always there, sitting on the steel guardrail, huddled up in her great big full-length military-looking coat - rain or shine, hot or cold. She often seems to be asleep, but always sitting up.
Thanks for the day brightener - I wish there were more.
