Among those is this woman who says shes been homeless for the past three years. Its not because im on drugs or mentally challenged because i work every day. I have a job. A housekeeper. Do you do . She also says she appreciates what mr. Fab is doing for the community. This type of things and these people wed be way worse th i thank for this type of stuff. Fab said he would inspired to help however they can. Were just happy to be here on the front line and be able to provide for those who are having a hard time providing for themselves.
