Re: Nov. 2 news story.
I’m trying not to cry with joy as I write this, since I’m at work.
I’m writing to thank deputy parks manager Scott Gilmore for inspiring Denver’s new program to employ the homeless, called Denver Day Works. It means the world to me. It’s an issue that I feel strongly about. Two years ago I was homeless myself. Without the help of friends and family I would not be anywhere near the point where I am today, having been able to rebuild my life with their support. I know many of the homeless have lost touch with friends and family and don’t have access to the resources that I did. It’s really beautiful that the city is doing something positive to help the homeless.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
(I did end up crying and had to explain to everyone why, but it was with a huge smile.)
