I just passed a person asking for money on the corner at 14th and 5th Ave. They had their dog, a sign, and they were wearing a T-shirt that said "End Homelessness." Period. End homelessness with a period at the end. I passed them, paused on the side of a building, grabbed money,
and walked back to where they sat. I handed them some change, first asking if it was alright to give them some and then accidentally putting it towards the silver bowl I mistakingly took for a collection bowl, rather than their dog's water dish. They laughed. We laughed. I met
their dog. And then I looked at them and said, with my hand on my heart, I saw your shirt and I turned back - thank you for wearing that. They said - thank you for noticing. I started to choke up in my chest. We looked at each other. They knew what was going through my heart.
There is something wildly profound about simultaneously engaging with activism for a cause that impacts you, while also asking for support. Period. End homelessness with a period at the end. That right there - that shirt on their chest - is a profound act and exchange of change.
