A Sad Day for the Homeless in Portland, Oregon

Today I found out that the Portland, Oregon-based non-profit, Shower to the People, has had to suspend the service due to lack of funding. I mentioned the great work they do as a full-service mobile shower unit in my book Car Living When There's No Other Choice.

I'm hoping that it is only a temporary delay that will allow Peter Fournier, the owner/proprietor of Shower to the People, a well-earned summer respite. He has logged an enormous amount of time and a major personal fortune into this effort over the last couple of years. May he and his great service come back stronger, swiftly.
