I was listening to the Michael DelGiorno show on Super Talk 99.7 in Nashville yesterday. A gentleman named Kevin called into the show to help explain some of the hardships of being homeless, and to try and debunk the common perception that all homeless people are drug attics and drunks. Kevin explained that he had no family to speak of and was injured last summer moving furniture. Kevin is a 50 year old mover by trade that felt he was too old to find a job in his chosen profession. Kevin's financial situation deteriorated to the point that he was no longer able to afford rent. Kevin now lives in his car with his three K-9 companions.
I called into the radio show and offered Kevin an opportunity to submit an application for my consideration. My best driver is 50 years old. Real movers know how to work smart. Charlie Brown taught me that 10 years ago. My mentor in the art of loading and unloading was 72 years old and moved an upright piano like an 20 year old.
I pray Kevin returns to a life of stability.
