It would be news, if it weren’t so common.
Local kid makes good. Until another small business fails. A lifetime’s dreams evaporate into legal arguments and red ink. Credit card living bleeds into personal bankruptcy. Divorce and distance from the kids; a typical chapter of this story. Suicidal thoughts fluctuate with counseling appointments and an increased dosage. Until the insurance dries up. A boarded building, an empty house. Another body in line at the mission. The one they used to ignore on the drive to work.
But it’s a recession. These things happen. They’re just supposed to happen to someone else.
In honor of Project Homeless Connect Thursday March 3 in Bellingham.
