Very uplifting to hear about programs like these. Perhaps there are good people out there who care about others after all!

The homeless are the most neglected, ignored and misunderstood population of all. It’s shameful the way some look down on them. Don’t they ever think “there but for the grace of God go I”? These type of fairs should be everywhere and more often. I have high hopes the new legislation will never again allow anyone to suffer needlessly just because they can’t afford treatment they desperately need. Good for Austin.

With the recession still looming on us, this might seem like a policy that is not well-timed, for a few people. But according to me, this is already late… this should have been done long ago… providing basic health care for all the citizens, especially covering those that cannot afford it proves the mettle of the region and country at large and I am personally waiting to see results of this great policy.

I live in a city where there has been little to nothing done to aid the homeless in our town, so when I hear about health fairs and resources like this being given out in Austin Texas it really does give me hope. How do you find the money and the tools to make all of this happen? I would love to get in on organizing something like this in my region but would have no ideas at all about how to even get it started. It seems like we sometimes go through life with blinders on and do not want to see the miseries of others. I think that it is great that Austin has seen to it to begin to take some responsibility for many of their less fortunate citizens and help them get some of the things that they need to get back on their feet soon.

A step in the right direction, I must say. Any help offered and given to the homeless and to those that cannot afford such services is a welcome gesture and to know that all will now be helped is very heartening indeed. There are scores of people out there who would be benefited by this and it will surely lead to a healthier country and world at large.
