Meet Wilson and Maria, Homeless People Who Will Give You Hope

Wilson and Maria have been living under a church vestibule for five years, which was when their home in Brooklyn was evacuated and demolished because the landlord was stealing gas from the building next door.

They have an opportunity to move into a real home, thanks to the community they've taken care of.

This is the first rough cut in a series.

Certainly NO ONE currently running for ANY office that I know of. They're effectively swept under the rug of our society. Only John Edwards and Bernie Sanders have ever dared mention folks like this couple. The current "contenders" for the White House don't even have a CLUE.

"our problem" and not government's problem, forgetting that government is supposed "the people." Even worse the George I's thousand points of light there were going to cure to ills of America while we bombed away the ills of every other country.
