Last night I had the privilege to take two homeless people to a Diamonbacks baseball game. What a treat for all of us. The elderly gentleman had not been to a game since he was 15 years old. The 50 year old woman loves baseball and especially the LA Dodgers. She along with her daughter and granddaughter had just moved here from New Mexico and where living in a park for two weeks. She was so relieved they had finally found shelter at Mother Teresa's. They where admitted to the shelter just yesterday, had their first decent meal in weeks, and went to the baseball game. What a great day for both of them. I even was invited for supper with the homeless, which I enjoyed.
How can these people be living in a park in America? What happened that they ended up in this situation with a one year old child? Pretty alarming that this is happening here. But it is. Our society and our political system allows or even causes these human failures. We must insure that every child receives a good education and a good family life. No more allowing 30 percent of our children to drop out of high school
