I almost titled this “Homeless Can Happen To Anybody”. Paul Lambi had a great life and then ended up homeless. But today is runs a business and is a true leader in his community.
This weekend I visited my old hometown of St Louis. The main reason was to meet homeless families living in a weekly rate hotel in St Charles County. Paul Kruse of First Step Back Home said Paul Lambi, the Mayor of Wentzville, was a huge help to the homeless families and was once homeless himself.
I really wish I had more time to hang with Mayor Lambi. On the eve of my 15th year anniversary of getting off the streets I know it is far from easy. But he had to leave and I had a reporter and photographer following me, and a documentary camera crew.
