Homelessness can effect anybody anywhere with the growing unemployment rate. Florida has one third of America's homeless people. CBS News interviewed some homeless families in Florida who have to live in their cars. One family, 2 kids and a dad lived in their truck trying to fit in at school every day. Another familiy has 3 kids and both of their parents. Their dad sits outside on a cooler protecting his family from robbers or other dangers. He feels like he has failed as a father, not being able to provide for his wife and kids, but I think he is not a failure because every night no matter how tired he is he stays up just to make sure they are safe. I don't know about him but I would rather have a dad that is going to keep me safe than one who gives up because all thats left in the cooler is one orange. It makes you think and hopefully appreciate how lucky you are to have a bed to sleep in every night and have food whenever you would like. I wish luck to all the homeless people out there and I want them to know it will be ok. Mabey not today, and mabey not tomorrow but it will get better if you have hope.
