Cell phones offer lifeline for the homeless
FORT WORTH, TEXAS -- Homeless for more than a year,[url=http://monclerdownjacketsoutlet.albirank.net/][b]moncler coats[/b][/url], Rebecca Carrington can go without her very own bed, fancy clothes and many material possessions.
But there is something she cannot imagine life without -- her mobile phone.
"It's everything,[url=http://monclerjassengoedkopekoop.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jassen Online[/b][/url]," she says,[url=http://cheapsoccercleats.webmium.com/][b]http://cheapsoccercleats.webmium.com/[/b][/url], hands stuffed right into a hooded black sweatshirt on the chilly day. "How I call my loved ones; how do i try to find an apartment or get a job. I could not survive out here without it."
Carrington,[url=http://monclerjassengoedkopekoop.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jassen Online Nederland Winkelcentrum[/b][/url], 26,[url=http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/][b]http://giuseppezanottiweddingshoes.webmium.com/[/b][/url], is hardly the only person about the streets with a cell phone. In fact, an increasing number of the city's homeless will surprise you by whipping Nokias and Motorolas from otherwise empty pockets.
Workers at Fort Worth's homeless shelters the number of guests with cell phones keeps growing rapidly,[url=http://duveticasale.albirank.net/][b]Duvetica Vest[/b][/url]. Some shelters have even reported issues with a lot of guests seeking outlets to charge their phones.
"We accustomed to see individuals with pagers; description of how the have mobile phones,[url=http://rogervivieroutlet.webmium.com/][b]roger vivier australia store Buy Roger Vivier Shoes In Roger Vivier UK Online Shop[/b][/url]," said Don Sisler, executive director the Union Gospel Mission. "I can't say the majority have them. But those who do use these phones manage their lives, just like you and me."
Many homeless people call phones critical tools to get from the streets. Without a phone number where they can be reached,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets men[/b][/url], completing applications for jobs or housing is often useless.
Some of the shelters have phones that guests can use,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets men sale[/b][/url], but there are rules about when and how long people can talk.
Tracfones or any other cheap phones with prepaid minutes can be bought for $10 to $15. They do not require credit report checks or contracts,[url=http://monclerjassengoedkopekoop.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jassen Goedkope Koop[/b][/url], and cards for additional minutes sell for $10 and $20 dollars at convenience stores.
Robert Hinkle,[url=http://duveticasale.albirank.net/][b]http://duveticasale.albirank.net/[/b][/url], a homeless man staying in the Presbyterian Night Shelter, not only has his own black AT flip phone, but he buys cell phones and chargers at flea markets,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Piumini Vendita italy[/b][/url], pays to activate them and sells these phones other homeless people.
"I are only able to sell them for $5 or $6,[url=http://monclerdownjacketsoutlet.albirank.net/][b]moncler coats on sale[/b][/url]," he says. "They gotta sacrifice quality or no-one can afford them. But many of people would like them."
Individuals with jobs use the phones to check on in with their bosses yet others reconnect with members of the family, he explained.
"Of course, people may also use them to call their crack dealers," Hinkle said. "I prefer to hope they will use them for that good reasons."
For many, a telephone might appear to be your final lifeline to the outside world. Carrington considers her MetroPCS phone so important to finding a job and a home and straightening out her lifetime that they cobbles $40 a month for unlimited minutes.
About this day,[url=http://www.duveticajacketsjp.com/][b]デュベティカダウンジャケット[/b][/url], she killed amount of time in a courtyard outside the Salvation Army shelter. She carried her phone in her hand,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Piumini Vendita[/b][/url], awaiting a call-back from a chain gas station where she recently applied for employment.
