Dear Berkeley Homeless Supporters,<\/p>\n

Thank you very much for all your support while I was homeless in Berkeley. I flew back to Indiana yesterday to take care of my health and be with family. I’m living at my mom’s apartment now.<\/p>\n

I will never forget how strangers, near-strangers, and acquaintances showed me compassion during my mental health crisis, how the community aided me when I got out of John George Concentration Camp (or “psychiatric pavilion”) with no money, clothes, food, ID, or plan. I also had no place to live because the slum lord changed the locks while I was in the hospital.<\/p>\n

Without this support network, I would have been much sadder and in physical danger than I was with your aid. I appreciate it so much and will not forget it. You saved my life and I’m living to fight another day.<\/p>\n

Thank you to First They Came For The Homeless especially. The rules gave me structure, safety, stability, and helped keep me clean from hard drugs due to camp expectations. I can be filed under “housed due to FTCFTH efforts.” Campers helped me get my head on straight in a community that oddly resembles 24-7 dialectical behavioral therapy (https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dialectical_behavior_therapy<\/a>), while giving me time to heal my relationship with my mom.<\/p>\n

The Berkeley City Council sickens me and I hope you can get them to act right. Good luck.<\/p>\n

I look forward to updates on the ongoing homeless litigation in Berkeley. Give them hell.<\/p>\n

Again, thanks for treating me like a human being, cutting through the thorny hedgerows that oppressors use to attempt to keep us apart.<\/p>\n

In struggle,<\/p>\n

Lindsey Krantz<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
