Before born

One of the projects I've been involved with since December 2004 has been the Medical Home for Homeless Children's Project. Through it, many expecting mothers received prenatal vitamins that otherwise wouldn't have.

While Jacksonville is touted as providing some of the best of care, many people fall through the cracks 'trying' to get through the nightmare of weeks until just the first financial appointment.

There's then the weeks of attempting to get confirmation they're not working as well as paperwork from case managers where they stay...'if' they stay somewhere.

I talked to Tamara Patton from the Jacksonville Homeless Speakers' Bureau yesterday. Seems she's hearing the same thing from others trying to do just that at the moment...get help when proactively trying.

Yes, there 'are' services. But no, they're 'not' able to provide such to everyone as believed. The common thing I see constantly are armchair quarterbacks ranting online in local forums.

It's a good glimpse into someone's character.

No wonder they like using cute monickers rather than their own name in public.
