David worked as a chimney sweep for 23 years in Minneapolis, but when the economy crashed, work slowed and he lost his job. Both David and his wife ended up homeless going from shelter to shelter. Right now they are couch surfing, staying in an over-crowded apartment with friends.
I cannot imagine living homeless in Minnesota. David tells the story of how they lived under a freeway bridge for a time and were lucky to not be hurt when the bridge collapsed.
