A short video I am in (grey shirt, dancing; pink shirt, speaking). This video explains why holistic programs at the Lodestar Day Resource Center really are needed in the fight to end homelessness.
I hope to educate you about homelessness, and inspire you to help us find a solution. I am not the "woe is me" type, I am not here to complain about my troubles. I look for the positive things in life, and have been blessed with a mind that is able to see beauty and inspiration almost everywhere, even now. Every homeless individual has their own story to tell. Not all are able to tell it. I can't speak for others, but I can SPEAK UP for them until they find their own voice.
About Me
- Shannon Felty
- I was once a successful career woman, living the ideal middle class life. I gave up my career to be a stay at home mom when an autoimmune disease made it impossible to maintain my career, or keep any job long term. When my 10 year relationship ended in violence, I quickly found myself homeless - and INVISIBLE. I, like so many other homeless individuals, do not fit the mold. We are nothing like the stereotypes society imposes on us. As long as we are "invisible" our plight goes unnoticed. I am here to speak up for this large percentage of the homeless population. I am challenging the notions of homelessness in America. PLEASE BECOME FOLLOWER!
Can I just say you and Andy rocked it last night! You both looked AMAZING! Best tango ever!
