Ive personally never had a great opportunity such as Ruth,s as I had very few friends let alone family. My mother by far was the worst support ststem and still is. I HAVE BEEN HOMELESS W A LITTLE TENDER AND mom wouldn't allow me to live even if I paid. People need to start being greatful not greedy. I bless the staff and support for all the help to communities.....

They put people on the streets. And won't tell you why. They don't care about people.
