Homeless in the path of the greenway: Manuel
Posted on June 28th, 2009 in homelessness
Via email, from Action Greensboro:
“… As you may know, Action Greensboro is spearheading a public/private partnership to create a Downtown Greenway…
Construction… will displace those living in this area…”
This is Manuel. He is homeless and lives outside in a wooded camp in downtown Greensboro in the path of the proposed greenway.
Manuel is quiet and humble. Not one to ask for things, but a gracious and grateful receiver when kindnesses are offered to him. He gave us a shy smile as he pulled back the curtain to show us where he sleeps and keeps his things. This is his home.
