Brianna is a 24 year old woman. For the past 12 days, she has lived with her dog in a small RV community in a Wal-Mart parking lot. I connected with Brianna via social media; she started to follow me on Twitter and I began reading her blog regularly (I highly recommend you check it out).

Brianna's strength and determination encouraged me, but having experienced homelessness myself, I knew deep down she was scared. The day before I was there she found a job, yet still has a long battle to go. Saving money while living without a home is nearly impossible. Plus, working homeless sometimes have to live two lives out of fear their employer or co-workers will find out about their situation.

Brianna is an amazing woman and I am in awe of her courage and her openness to talk about how her own homelessness has changed her.
