After a Decade Unhoused, He Said He Thought He Was Dreaming

The story

Ten years is long enough for a person to start believing the sidewalk is the plan. Donald Rozier lived that stretch without a stable home.

People who have not slept outside often treat housing as a background fact. For him it became the plot.

What happened next

When he received a place of his own he said he thought he was dreaming. He also said he felt for anybody still on the street because he had been there. NewsNation aired the moment as good news, which is another way of saying a basic human need was finally met.

A lesson you can use this week

Support the practical ladder: a case worker call, a donated bus pass, a landlord who will take a chance. Inspiration without a key is only a speech.
