text: Kim Rue:  The reason my brother came up here in the first place is to be with me.We only have each other.All our family is dead.I'm 65 & not always in the best health.He's 69 not always in the best health.I don't know if you have kids, a spouse, mom &  dad, siblings to assist you & support you.I haven't had that for years.With my brother here we can support each other.If either of us gets sick or hurt, we are here for each other.
  
  I had the expertise to personally advocate for my brother & spent many hours helping him get services & he now lives in an apt that he can afford. I dealt with a lot of bureaucracy that was at times extremely frustrating.I especially thank Catholic Social Services for their assistance.Also AHFC & Cook Inlet Housing.Personal advocating is something that so many homeless people don't have available.This was the point of my story.Also, that people do find shelter.
  
  I wish you would educate yourself before criticizing others.I think it was very rude of you.
