Our Minds Matter

How can we understand why someone chooses to live on the street? This is the story of Freddy Boyd a homeless man who lived with schizophrenia. Freddy died in January with his family at his side. The news of his death resulted in an outpouring of emotion on social media and for that moment, people thought about Freddy as a person. Freddy's sister, Darlene, tells the story of loving her brother, a gentle, kind man who could also be angry and had trouble living a normal life. Darlene wrote a poem about Freddy and read it at his funeral which you can read below in Show Notes.
