35 year old Lisa's drug addiction began ten years ago. She has been homeless off and on for the past three years, but the latest stint on the streets has been going on for the past ten months. She does find shelter at warming stations and other facilities, but she did tell me that she had to camp out the night before. It was very rainy that evening. Lisa said drug addiction was her downfall. That is tough. Lisa told me that she has not used for the past four months and that she is actively working towards a rehab opportunity which could come to fruition within the next two weeks. I felt her determination. She has been doing the paper work and face time with professionals in that field. She is very optimistic and I felt her hope. She says she has a fiance and I hope, together, they can find a happier life.
