Let's Help Thurman Find Lasting Stability

After 30 Years of Struggle He Deserves a Home Not Just a Room

For 30 years Thurman has been on the streets, selling StreetWise magazines every day not to beg, but to earn the $35 he needs to pay for a safe hotel room each night. When he says, "It keeps me from being homeless," you see the dignity and effort in his struggle. He is a man who asks for nothing but the chance to work and provide for his most basic need: shelter. The moment he realizes a stranger saw his struggle and his self respect, his quiet composure breaks and the emotion is raw, a testament to the heavy burden he carries every day. His effort and kindness in offering the magazine for free, even when he believed the stranger had no money, is why we must rally around him. We have a chance to turn his nightly struggle for a room into the foundation for a permanent home.

Let’s give Thurman more than a single night’s rent. Donate now to help us raise enough money to secure an apartment deposit and several months of rent, giving him the stability he has earned after three decades of hard work. Your kindness will pay for far more than a room it will pay for a future.
