I linked to this remarkable story yesterday. Today, there’s been a wonderful development.

Of course, most stories don’t end like this. Thanks to Karen Hipp who forwarded this link to me, and wrote:

My aunt’s ex-husband was a brilliant PhD who taught at several universities, including the Sorbonne. He was also an addict and was homeless on several occasions during his life. It is a reminder to show compassion for all of God’s children, because we all DO have a story.

What continues to shock me, after nearly eighteen months in Madison, is the number of people made homeless because of medical issues. And that includes veterans. I’ve met them being dropped off by cabs from the VA hospital; with catheters or breathing tubes, looking for shelter for the night.
