Thank you, Swathi — for such a thoughtful post and all of your incredible, thoughtful work this summer. CEF has been so blessed to have you as a part of our family.

Just don’t forget — As we say during all of our CEF classes, “Once a member, always a member.” We expect to see you back soon

Comment on CEF / Homeless Switch for an Hour by Audrey

What a wonderful post. Thanks, Amanda! And not only thanks for the post, but for organizing the whole event — it was a hugely educational experience for us all! I learned that it takes an enormous amount of courage to be on the streets. However, as scared as I was, I was greatly comforted by the community on Franklin. I am so grateful for Rick, Deanne and others who made me feel comfortable, sitting next to us the whole time, explaining to us the rules of Franklin Street and sharing experiences they had had.

One of the most interesting experiences I had during “Freaky Wednesday” was when a lady approached me and said “What’s the deal?! You’re not homeless… you’re too young!”. This was an interesting perspective because less than five minutes earlier, I had been speaking with a homeless woman who was a mere 20 years old— exactly my age. It showed me that a lot of people have skewed perspectives on homelessness— there is certainly not a specific type of person who becomes homeless. It can happen to many different types of people for many different reasons. I think this is a concept that many people don’t grasp— I hope that our CEF/Homeless switch day helped to make people think about doubting stereotypes surrounding homelessness.

I would like to comment on the wonderful job CEF is doing in our community. It is a great role model for Educational Institutions. Their help with members of our community has been and and still is greatly need. I have meet Equashia, she is an inspiration for anyone going through tough times. She is so full of hope, love and life. She is a very giving and selfless person. We need more people like her in this world. We hope that she continues to be a beacon of light for others in our community.
