Is there a shelter here in KW? I am somewhat of a blanket hoarder, but could donate a half dozen or so to help keep someone warm tonight. 4951

Maybe check with the homeless lady across the parking lot from Showbiz. She might need one. Her name is Angela... 4951

@OldGuy:
 
That's a great idea. I hope she's not out there this weekend. Surely the police won't let her just sit out there. She would freeze out there. 4951

@sweetie: The police won't do anything. On occasion, someone who has managed to gain her trust and friendship, will get her over to the local motel on nights like this or if a bad storm is coming in, and pay it for her.

@OldGuy: I hope she has a place to stay tonight.  She has been in that area for a long time.  Does anyone know if she is from this area?

Society of St Stephens, right by Kingwood United Methodist Church, and Feed My Lambs in Porter would probably appreciate blanket donations.
 
They both have great community outreach programs. 4951

This is on the Northeast Mission's website (Loop 494, Porter):
 
"Here are just a few ways you can help Mission Northeast help those in need in our community:
Immediate Needs:
 
Full size blankets double and queen size preferred, but all are needed — new or gently used and clean

New socks and underwear for men, women and children — all sizes
 
Personal care items: toothbrushes, toothpaste; socks, deodorant; soap, etc. (travel sizes are welcome as well as full sizes)"

I would think the police should help her. I wonder if she was out there last night. Does she have a home? Any family? 4951

@sweetie:   I'm not sure why she is homeless or if she has family in the area.  It's sad she is homeless.  My sister and I stopped and gave her some money last week.  I know we should not do that but she does not seem to be an alcoholic or a druggie.    I have to wonder what drives someone to be homeless.  Surely she has family somewhere.  I would hate to have one of my children in this situation.  I know sometimes it seems impossible to live with a family member.  Sometimes they just can't keep their mouth shut.

I heard that she lost a family member and is waiting for them to return. If so that's sad but
I don't know that this is true though. 4951

She has been there since late 2015, and before that, she was in Porter staying mostly by the Goodwill store until they ran her off, then went over by McDonald's on the other side of 59. She has family in Grangerland, but either they won't get her or she won't stay with them. She has a son that she had custody of after a divorce, but somehow the dad got custody later on and then she lost her house and vehicle. She used to work at a hospital, but left due to a lot of harassment. She won't go to a shelter because she doesn't trust them. She's not a beggar, and often will turn down money or food if offered by someone she has not seen before. I feel everything that has happened to her over the last several years has had a bad effect on her mentally. She wants the help of a lawyer, but of course, can't afford one. She's not a dummy and I truly hope one day things do a 180 for her and she pulls through this. 4951
