Shrinking - thread Posted: Jun 23rd, 2019 - 5:25 am In Reply to: Thread is Shrinking - Have to Chime in Here
MT is sinking, but I think some of us have been lured into thinking, or at least hoping, during the tolerable times along the way, that just maybe things will hold steady for a little while longer until retirement, etc.
This lady, as I understand it, has experienced several serious setbacks in life. Unfortunately, it seems she has no immediate family left to rely on. I've read some of her posts on the Go-Fund-Me website. She truly is a gifted writer. I think the sky's the limit on what she can accomplish with her talent one day. I don't believe she is trying to con anyone. I think she simply believed that if anyone could understand her desperate situation, having been a former MT, it would be other fellow MTs here on this board.
I think homelessness is a very serious problem in our country and keeps getting worse. But one very disturbing aspect of it I heard a while back is that older women make up the fastest growing segment of the homeless population in this country, either living in their cars or on the street.
I sincerely hope that she'll find her way back to the safety and security of having a home again...
