Last
summer I was a volunteer at a shelter for the homeless, a place for homeless people
to sleep at night. I wasn't working that summer and was1only two classes
in summer school, so I had some free time.
Three
nights a week, I helped in the kitchen of the shelter along with other four volunteers.
We planned and2hot meals of vegetables, chicken, fish
and fruit for 45 people. The homeless people needed this
good food because many of them usually don't eat well. They were very grateful.
I3this
volunteer work very much and made4with the four volunteers in the kitchen.
One was a very nice elderly housewife, one a movie actor, another a young teacher,
and the other a college student, like me.
I talked
to a lot of the homeless people at the shelter. Their life stories filled me with
sympathy. Some of them had5with
alcohol or drugs while others only had bad luck. One woman worked for almost 30
years for a small company, and then she lost her6. She looked for a new job, but couldn't
find one, as she was too7. She could do nothing but sell her
furniture — sofas, chairs, and tables so that she could pay for her 8.The
woman went on job hunting,
but she still couldn't find one. She had no money for her9and had to sleep in her car. Then she
had to sell her car. Alone, 10, and
homeless, she finally came to the shelter.
