Sometimes, homelessness isn’t the result of addiction or laziness — it’s the aftermath of heartbreak.

I can't even tell you how many people I've talked to that became homeless because of something traumatic that caused them to lose everything. In this world, we lack decency and humility and it's a shame that so many of our veterans are homeless. Our country needs to do better

Michael Harris from Traverse City, Michigan, passed away shortly after this interview. He had been homeless for 11 years, yet his story went far deeper than anyone could see. He lost his first son at just five and a half years old, and his second son later died while serving in the military. Only days after that, his brother was murdered. His fiancée—his last hope for love and stability—also passed away, taking with her his only chance at housing and happiness.
On top of all that heartbreak, Michael was battling stage 4 cancer. His car, which he had worked hard to keep, was repossessed. His best friend was stabbed and killed in the very shelter where he slept, and not long after, that shelter was shut down.
He carried more loss than most could survive, yet still spoke with honesty and love about the one thing he longed for most—his son. Please, before you judge someone for being homeless, remember Michael. You never know the weight someone is carrying just to stay alive.
