PLEASE MEET DEE AND DEVIN :

Dee and Devin are just good-hearted people. This couple have called an RV home for the last five years. Dee told me that circumstances will not be allowing them to be indoors anytime soon, but they are happy and grateful to be there, and they hope to be allowed to stay put. "We don't want to rejoin the shuffle, but we also know this is temporary".

They feel safer where they are parked than they have for a very long time. These two have been together and in love for 8 years! WOW! They live with their beloved 15 year old cat Chanel, who delightfully is grumpy and sweet.

Dee is articulate, welcoming, helpful, and smart as a whip. People who live on the streets come to them for help all the time because they are stable. In fact they have had FOUR people come to them to get help with administering Narcan in the last four months! That is life saving.

Dee told me about an app that you can put on your phone called "NaloxoFindApp". This free app allows first responders and good-samaritans to register as naloxone carriers, making them reachable by the NaloxoFindApp users in emergency situations.

Dee is a voice for their community by filming sweeps, doing outreach work, and bringing supplies to encampments.

WOW! SO MUCH LOVE DEE AND DEVIN.
