@matthews_light: Look at him. No shoes on his feet in nearly 100-degree heat. No shirt to protect him from the blazing sun. Elderly, hungry, living with mental illness, and still incredibly sweet. His name is Grant, and this was not our first time helping him. It took me a long time to earn his trust. But when he saw me Saturday, he yelled, “My friend!” and wrapped me in the biggest hug. That moment meant more to me than I can explain. Grant did not just need someone to point him toward the tables. He needed someone he trusted to slow down, take his arm, and walk beside him. So together, we went through each line and made sure he received food, clothing, shoes, and the other things he needed. This is what homelessness looks like. It is not a debate, a statistic, or a problem that belongs to somebody else. It is a human being standing barefoot on scorching pavement, trying to survive another day. But Grant is not simply “a homeless man.” He is my friend. He deserves patience, gentleness, and the dignity of being known by his name. On Saturday, he did not have to walk through it alone. We walked together. Your support is what allows Matthew’s Light to keep showing up for Grant and hundreds of others like him.
