]]> Comment on Day 20 – Peter and Ayalew by Reed Sandridge http://yearofgiving.org/2010/01/03/day-20-peter-and-ayalew/#comment-25792 Tue, 26 Feb 2013 21:11:51 +0000 http://yearofgiving.wordpress.com/?p=190#comment-25792 Hi Sammy! Thanks for dropping by. I know you are right. All shelters are not created equally. I’m surprised though how many homeless I met who were so adamently against them. I’ve been working a lot with Anthony from Day 67 and he is also reluctant to go to shelters…even when the temperatures are flirt with severe frostbite conditions. Ari Shapiro from NPR hosted an interesting conversation on the topic of why individuals experiencing homelessness often times shun shelters. It’s complicated. It’s encouraging to hear your experiences in Indiana. Thanks Sammy!

Not all shelters are bad ;)
