If it wasn’t for Linda’s sign I would have never thought she was homeless. Can you picture this woman sleeping outside on a bench by the Santa Monica Library?
Years ago she moved to the San Fernando Valley with her boyfriend looking for work. He was a union welder for 30 years. The work ended and because of health issues they ended up homeless.
Together they have collected unemployment benefits, food stamps, Social Security and disability payments but now they’re separated so she has to resort to panhandling to make ends meet.
