I am about to be homeless (for real) and reading what is written below is true. I have finished my missions for God that have been in the making all of my life.

There is a timeline that God has shown me so we will see what His Will is soon.

I would rather sleep outside than subject myself to a shelter full of crime, black magic, lack of care and every kind of abuse known and unknown.

I would rather die in the streets than live any time in a place like a shelter or live in a place with someone I know that is abusive. (Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually, Financially or Physically)

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“WHY WOULD SOMEONE CHOOSE TO SLEEP OUTSIDE INSTEAD OF GOING TO A HOMELESS SHELTER?

After spending time serving individuals experiencing homelessness, I believe this is a conversation more people need to understand.

Even when shelter beds are available, some individuals remain outdoors. Here are some reasons why:

1. Safety and fear. Some individuals have experienced theft, violence, intimidation, or other traumatic situations in shelters. For them, sleeping somewhere familiar may feel safer.

2. Mental health and trauma. PTSD, anxiety, and past traumatic experiences can make sleeping in an unfamiliar environment surrounded by strangers extremely difficult.

3. Separation from loved ones. Some shelters cannot accommodate couples together. For people who depend on one another for emotional and physical support, separation can be frightening.

4. Their pets are family. A dog may be someone’s only consistent companion, source of comfort, or sense of security. Some would rather sleep outside than abandon their pet.

5. Rules and restrictions. Curfews, check-in requirements, sobriety policies, or other restrictions may create barriers for certain individuals, including those working irregular hours.

6. Fear of losing their belongings. When everything you own fits into a backpack, shopping cart, or a few bags, leaving those possessions unattended can mean losing everything.

7. Independence and personal control. When someone has lost their home, employment, relationships, and stability, having some control over where they sleep can feel like one of the few choices they have left.

8. Previous negative experiences. Some have tried shelters before and had experiences that left them fearful, uncomfortable, or unwilling to return.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

Sleeping outside does not automatically mean someone is refusing help, choosing homelessness, or comfortable with their circumstances.

Sometimes what looks like a choice is actually a person trying to survive with the limited options available to them.

And this is why street outreach matters.”
