I have been working at the cafe for almost ten weeks. About three months time.
In this amount of time I have seen two of our ladies have four boyfriends each.
The love triangles that form when you live with the same people for 24/7!
It's CRAZY!
The past few days Rodger has been missing. Roger is one of the guys who was on the street but wanted to get his life straight again.
He got into the shelter and started volunteering at the cafe. He went to conferences with us and was working hard to get his life back together. About two weeks ago Rodger got really quiet and quit talking. This morning David, one of our other volunteers, found Rodgers ID card and volunteer pass laying on his bed. All of Rodgers stuff was gone. He hit the high trails.
We hope he comes back. Its sad to loose him. We all spent a lot of time talking to him and encouraging him to do the right thing.
Lesson numero uno: Some times when you help people and do all you can for them they leave and go back to their old life.
Lesson numero dos: It's okay
