Hi. Thanks for responding and clearing up my question. I asked around and found out that yes, mobile phone with limited mobility are provided to individuals who qualify for assistance.

Oh, I didn't catch that his dad is incarcerated. This young may now has a a dad unavailable, and a mom deceased. I'm glad he has a foster parent.

I could sense his upbeat attitude and spirit, especially wanting to finish high school and go to college. I hope there are programs out there for individuals who desire to do so. I know that financial aid is available. I was always told that many homeless individuals can't get assistance because they have no physical address.

This young man and many like him have an uphill battle to succeed. Somehow I sense, he will make it. His dire situation doesn't have seemed to beaten him down to the point he has given up. I wish the best of luck.

The work you do to bring this situation to light is inspiring. I know where I live there is a homeless population that growing each year.

I have empathy for those less fortunate. But I've seen both sides of the picture. My family was far from middle class, and tethered on the brink of poverty when I was young. But we were fortunate to never be homeless. That's why my questions. When I saw the living condition in the tents, then with the mobile phone and seemingly nice outer wear, hence my question.

I'm just glad to know he's not all alone and does have a foster parent situation.

Thanks for explaining the situation.
