Zola's take on the homeless

After her preschool class talked about the homeless and joined a march, Zola was quite concerned about their plight. As noted earlier, she wanted to be a grave robber to help the homeless.

When a building by Eastern Market was abandoned after the historic building was refurbished, Zola told us that they should use it to house the homeless.

Another day, she wondered if they might be able to live in trees.

Still later, we saw a person with a sign asking for help as he was homeless. Zola asked what his sign said and I told her. She looked sympathetic and then alarmed. "Mama, I don't want him to live with us."

I assured her that that wasn't what he was asking for, just money to help find shelter/food etc. She seemed relieved.
