{"product_id":"gotta-find-a-home-3-book-dennis-cardiff-9780993979910","title":"Gotta Find a Home 3","description":"This book continues the conversations from Book 2. Find out how these characters have fared since you last read about them. See Author page for 66 - 4.5 Star reviews of the series. All author proceeds go to people forced onto the street. Can you find a secure shelter for the night? Have you experienced intense hunger? Are you a regular victim of verbal, emotional or physical abuse? Read the conversations I have had with people who are hungry, homeless and at risk. Writing about the homeless and helping the homeless, has given my life a purpose that it didn't have before. Documenting their stories will, I hope, introduce them to the public in a non-threatening way. Some panhandlers look intimidating, but that disappears when one sees them laugh.A typical day for me involves taking the bus and walking two blocks to work. I pass Joy's spot every day. I usually sit and talk with her for twenty to thirty minutes. Chester and Hippo may drop by to chat. Most afternoons, depending on weather, I walk two blocks to the park where the group of panhandlers varies in size from two to twenty or more. They don't panhandle at the park. Like a soap opera, every day is different; some scenarios will carry over a few days or weeks. People will disappear for weeks or months due illness, rehab programs or incarceration. When I met Joy I was going through an emotional crisis. Meeting her and her friends - worrying about them and whether or not they would be able to eat and find a place to sleep - took my mind off my problems, that then, seemed insignificant. It was - is - truly a life changing experience.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":54116698489105,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":54116699046161,"sku":"NIN9780993979910","price":14.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780993979910.jpg?v=1786410970","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/gotta-find-a-home-3-book-dennis-cardiff-9780993979910","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
