Donate Old Strollers to Homeless
While walking down Venice Beach in Los Angeles, I noticed a man dressed in the ragged attire of the homeless and, in front of him, I was shocked to see a baby stroller, much like my own, what I refer to as the SUV of strollers, the jogging stroller. Obviously, I was very upset to learn that he was homeless with a child, but as we passed him, there was no baby on board, but instead the stroller was filled with his belonging and a small dog was perched on top taking a nap. After this sighting, I saw several more around L.A., San Francisco and Portland, tres west coast.
I know I’ve been living out in the boonies for a long time, but when did homeless people trade in the old trusty shopping cart for new fangled baby strollers? It doesn’t seem like they would hold as much, though they may ride better in today’s urban landscape. Isn’t there a poor mother out there that could put that stroller to better use?
