The heat isn't working in the house, so Brook does what he can to keep warm for his night's sleep. He wears a thick coat and about five layers underneath, with a hat covering the hood that he draws close to his face.
He covers up with a donated blanket and rests his head on a bag where he keeps his belongings. The heat isn't working because he's not paying the bills. In fact, it's not his house -- it's abandoned, and he's not supposed to be there.
With the holidays behind us, so are the frantic appeals from the non-profits for food, clothing and funds to help the homeless. As we return to work and our life routines, we tend to forget the sallow, hollow-eyed faces from the ads. The homeless can be forgotten for another year, or can they?
Be grateful for what you have. Don't feel guilty for what you have, you've earned it and worked hard for it. But always remember to give back to those less fortunate than you because no matter how bleak the situation, someone, somewhere may be wishing they had it as good (or bad) as you...
