visit #2

During my second visit to the warm shelter I was much less worried than the first time I went. I think I wasn’t as worried because I kind of knew what to expect. When I arrived I knew the people didn’t look poor and they were all polite. In a way I was very relieved that it was very unlikely for me to deal with any psychotic people that might pull a gun on me. While I was serving I got a chance to talk to some people who came in for lunch, which was a great experience. One woman, who wore jeans, a blue sweater and had short grayish hair and appeared to be in her sixties told us about how she was layed off the day before Christmas and only had a week until her insurance ended. I felt very bad for her, but was amazed at how she approached the whole situation, she only thought of the best and seemed positive that better times would come. Jut like the first time I noticed that people didn’t appear to be homeless or poor at all. Again they all had nice clothes, cell phones and more. One new thing I found surprising though was the fact that around winter the WARM shelter had less people, I would think in the winter there would be more people who needed help. Maybe more people will come in later months as I continue to make visits to the WARM shelter.
