Whatever brought you to aidpage is bound to be a situation that can also lead to depression.
Depression itself is why many of us are wrestling with life in the first place.
It is not a shameful thing to be depressed.
It is a part of life just like other difficulties we deal with. If you have diabetes ,
you get insulin to help you live. If you have depression , you get anti-depressants or therapy to help you.
They are both situations where you need help to survive.

About being Homeless
THE INVISIBLE AMERICANS
Being poor can sometimes lead to homelessness. You can even be rich and become homeless overnight if you lose everything due to a run on the bank ( like during the depression ) or you max out your credit cards and then can't pay the monthly payments.Many people who live their lives on credit are just on the edge of loosing it all.
Here is a page to provide a window into the lives of the homeless. If you claim you care , then go to this page and read what it has to say.
ON BEING HOMELESS
*The section below is from a web site started by a homeless man :
He was publishing a homeless handbook.
After the first three chapters , it stopped. I don't know how much longer the handbook will even be on the net , so I am printing the whole thing on these pages.

THE VANISHING FATHER
This is a page that I came across when researching sites for the single father page. Single fathers of course don't fit this mold .
Where are all the other fathers ? We have a crisis of negligent fathers in this country. Here you will find a bibliography if you want to research this problem . I am assuming that there are some people who come to Aidpage to find out how to help others. Here is a good place to start researching how you can help single mothers.
Support the family and bring back real men : fathers who step up and act responsibly about their families.
