She's 52 years old.

She is as likely a victim of Reagan's cuts in care for the needy as anything else.

Neither you nor I know her, know her live, her deeds or her sins.

I won't judge her and I will simply wish her well.

Done.

And for all the adversity, she knows how to find a way to smile.

I don't know what the purpose of this OP is, but I'm glad to have met her.

Happy Holidays to you and yours, freshwest!

Maybe she prefers jail to being on the streets. At least this way she is guaranteed three meals a day and a roof over her head.
