I'm middle-aged & white .

Generalizations are so dehumanizing . But we all make and buy into them . I guess it's a way to make sense of the world .

through home forward and was number 39 on the wait list for section 8. They sent her a letter saying the wait list for 2017 is cancelled. She only has 2 months left of the other program she was on while waiting for section 8. She does not want to but she will be moving in with my sister. She is still self reliant, active and alert.
