Good Gloves The US economy is booming, with the unemployment rate at its lowest level in almost 50 years. Still, the streets of Portland, Oregon, California and Washington State are increasingly, if not worse, compared to third world countries in terms of cleaning costs. (California spends $30 million a year clearing "junk” from needles and sidewalks in San Francisco.) In Portland, the homeless are doing their best to endure the cold and the violence, sheltering under bridges, on freeways, and curl up on sidewalks. When the weather is warm, the homeless move to the climate of their choice, and the truly helpless cannot escape the elements and violence. Animal shelters are doing their best. Over the past year, death from hypothermia claimed several lives in downtown Portland. Hats and gloves are lost or stolen and need to be constantly replaced. I have seen a Portland policeman stop and speak tenderly to a beggar lying in a ditch what meaning that gentle tone and word of hope can have. The truly helpless on the streets are exposed to the city's brutal lawlessness, they need decent kindness and hope to avoid being exposed to everyday political violence because they are stuck. These gloves are good quality for the price and will help you keep going. A word of hope, a Bible or booklet, new gloves, hat and socks handed to them in a reusable plastic bag with a caring smile can change a life without hope forever. Temperatures in Portland approach the 30s at night.
