A FORUM FOR COMMUNITY ISSUES : Platform : The Panhandlers

Compiled by Trin Yarborough / for The Times

MARILYN, Homeless, about 34, Santa Monica.

Find Michael. He’s over by the Greyhound bus station. He had a house there but they took it. He let me stay there a while. Now they’re trying to trick Michael because he has a shopping cart. But I’m not allowed to tell him. Listen, I have to go now. I’m known for being quiet. I never say one word to people. That’s all that I have to say to you. I can’t talk anymore. I’m just not up to it! Find Michael! Find Michael! Find Michael!
