So many people don’t know enough about what families go through when resorting to weekly rooms for their kids.

Although the audio wasn’t available for this video, Tracy’s message is getting through.

Thank you so much for posting this story. I know first hand exactly about this… a few months ago I encountered a young homeless family begging for money as they were going to be kicked out of their hotel the next day.

I did not know quite what to do but after meeting them, I wrote a story and help from the blogosphere helped them so much. The shelters in SF are not able to help enough people.

This is the beginning of their story:

Happily, I can say that tomorrow they are moving into their new apartment. The motel they lived in for months was difficult and a very hard way to live, but I am so thankful to have met them and now can see they will have a home of their own. Thank you for this blog and what you do.

Wow.

Thanks for sharing.

I am still contemplating what this video was. I was really touched by the kids hanging on Tracy.
