PLEASE MEET BRIAN:
Brian has the kindest smile, so I just had to go talk to him.
Although he couldn't chat long, what he told me in those brief moments was so interesting. He had two shopping carts full of his stuff, and told me that he prefers sleeping on the streets over staying in a shelter because he doesn't care for all the rules.
He loves hanging out in the park with his friends. Brian is in his 50’s and is from Lummi Island.
In three months time, he's very excited to go visit his mother and his NINE sisters. They have twenty-two kids between the ten siblings. His mom lives on Lummi in a log cabin. He told me that he lost his step-father and his real father within ONE day of each other, and that they both died from the same kind of cancer! So at one point Brian's mother had to raise all of those kids on her own. How wild is that?
