"The Shelter of Rubén"

Hi Ruben. I've come to see you and you're not here. It came to my head that time we spoke, I told you that I felt bad for what you were going through and you stayed a few but endless seconds silent, you looked at me and you told me that you did not have to make the bed anymore.

I wanted to see you because I wanted to tell you something that is difficult for me to comment out here, in the jungle, as you say. I want to say it to someone with a clean look, yours. Out here, good looks, solidarity, but basically everything is measured in euros, is inevitably associated with employment and dedication (as if you do not dedicate yourself to things, being unemployed!), Mixed success and merit , confused value with triumph.

Jopa! Well, it grieves me a lot not to see you. Not for you, but for me. I know that you have already decided your life, and with that conviction, so intimate, you have been able to clean your eyes, examine yourself, move on until the body endures, without hesitation, accepting, assuming your new role. I am at the limit and I can go back to sleep next to you.

I would give everything I have to reach the serenity that you already possess. That's what I wanted to talk to you about. That serenity can become greater by having a real home, because we are conducting a campaign to get people out of the street.

"El Cobijo de Antonio, Jaime, Braulio, Sergio, Juan and María"

Leave things anywhere that our order is particular, use your head and take advantage of anything for your needs, be creative. We can not say that we have nothing, we have blankets and mattresses, and suitcases with clothes, look at yourself, and company, here we are six, Antonio, Jaime, Braulio, Sergio, Juan and María. More than a lot of people who live alone in their apartment, bitter, well no, that with whatsapp and facebook they have hundreds of friends and they talk every day, but hey, we talk here and we are always together, and we even have sex, but that you will already know and you will have to work.

They say that we have no dignity and that we have lost everything, but for me, in the deepest part of my being, the only thing I need is a home, I no longer tell you money or work, with a home everything would improve, because cold in Winter does, and the cop sometimes bothers us, the fools do not because they see that we are many. So I love the initiative you propose from HomelessEntrepreneur since we all have skills that with the basic needs covered we could demonstrate. And we do not want you, Daniel, to stay in the street, because you say you're in a situation of limits.

"Jim's Shelter"

You have to see, Jim, how do you do it despite everything. Cojeas, you're tired of always sleeping with one eye open, but you've ridden in the middle of this small refuge waiting for better times.

You take time and today is the first time we spoke. You take cigarette butts to smoke and I give you for a coffee, or a wine, or whatever you need at this moment: I will not be the one to judge your evasion methods, which shortcut you use to forget for just a moment such loneliness and sadness.

You tell me battles and real stories, longing for those times not so far in which you had everything, you were a logistics technician, and I shudder at the story of your fall, a story so close, possible and horrifying. For almost everyone.

Jim's story was also mine and can be again because of a serious economic situation. Your contribution can be important so that Jim leaves the street and I do not return to it. If you dare to make a donation, do it with the title "Cobijos". It is very important to end the infamy of people without a roof.
