Tony is homeless in Denver, Colorado. He’s been on the streets for six years and sober for the last three years.<\/p>\n
Staying sober on the streets is nearly impossible. I have huge respect for Tony for living on the streets and going through methadone maintenance to get off opioids.<\/p>\n
I met Tony through Denver Day Works which is a low-barrier work experience program for homeless people or those who may be at risk of homelessness.<\/p>\n
It’s great that Tony has now a purpose and is receiving an income but six years on the streets is far too long. He’s really trying but without a path to housing, Tony will remain on the streets living in a tent. That’ where you come in.<\/p>\n
