Student of Melville Senior High School, August 22nd '04, Studied homelessness and poverty in depth for the last three years.
I was born in a ditch. I lived in a rundown house and I had no friends except for my bottle cap stick figure. I aim to change the lives of other people.
As a staunch anti-capitalist, I seek to resolve the issues caused by the upper class that result in the stripping of adequate shelter from our working class, which takes away their lives and allows the upper class to grow their wealth. I am a firm believer in the concept of mutual aid, and feel compelled to help all in need.
Om is a person who thought homelessness was maybe a bad thing, and that maybe it would good if, like, people weren't homeless. Thus began his long partnership with Street Shelters in an attempt to do something about the problems faced by many.
