@charisma777 my heartfelt comfort for having to go through such a sorrowful separation. I cry to the universe with you that one day you shall be reunited with your brother. Yes, homelessness can be stopped! I do have a few suggestions as to how?

You mentioned that at some point your brother went to live on the beach. This was his home, he chose to go and live there which was not a problem. Since he had chosen his 'home', what kind of reception did the inhabitants of his new home give him? Assuming the posed no obvious danger to people as sometimes people on drugs (anything beyond marijuana) can be, did someone not realise that there is a homeless stranger around? Who cared to know about his story? Perhaps the more he faced this neglection the more socially unacceptable he became?? Where am I driving to? The solution to such a problem is for everyone. If you really care, look around...someone needs your help. Humanity should not be left to organised institutions that use guesswork and chemicals to diagnose and treat. It is the spirit within us all that we are all together and connected. The pain of one is the pain of all and the happiness one is the happiness of all. Usually, we are able to do a little more than we do in terms of helping a stranger or a situation. Sometimes all it takes is understanding it and embracing it. When we reject and look aside, hoping for somebody to do it and comforting ourselves that everybody else is not doing it, we cause homelessness. Lead by example and take in a homeless child, show care in one way or another if you cant take in. Do this wholeheartedly and dont be quick to make noise about it until you see real changes and improvement.

Maybe we find our loveds ones. #stophomelessness
