From foster care to homeless: how the system failed him<\/h2>\n

Michael White stood on the center median at the busy intersection between Glades Road and St. Andrews Blvd in Boca Raton, Florida. It was 2002, and he was donning a lime green shirt with \u201cThe Homeless Voice\u201d logo on the front, gripping a plastic bucket and selling newspapers in exchange for a donation. He had just taken a job with the COSAC Foundation, a charitable organization which helps house homeless people for a small fee. It also offers people an opportunity to sell newspapers on the street in exchange for a percentage of the sales, which can then go towards housing.<\/p>\n

It was White\u2019s first day on the job, and he hoped to make enough money to stay at the shelter that night, which would also guarantee him a meal. A car stopped just feet away from him. A mother sat in the driver\u2019s seat, focused on the traffic ahead of her, waiting for the red light to turn green. A young boy sat in the back seat. He motioned for White to come over just before rolling down the window, holding out a ten dollar bill. As White went to take the donation, the window suddenly rolled up and trapped the young boy\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n

The boy screamed.<\/p>\n

His mother stared coldly at the traffic in front of her, while keeping her finger on the button, not releasing her son\u2019s arm.<\/p>\n

The boy continued to shriek and tears streamed down his face. White grabbed the boy\u2019s arm and tried to push it back through the window. \u201cI knew he was in pain, and I saw the fear on the kid\u2019s face that he didn\u2019t really know what was going on\u2026 it was an unexplainable sound,\u201d he said, his voice becoming gentler as he recalled the incident. The sound brought White back to his childhood, and he immediately burst into tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was not only angry, I was hurt, I was devastated. It just took me back to my childhood,\u201d he said between breaths. White was abused as a child, just like the young boy seemed to be. While many years have passed since he was last abused, there is no escaping the painful memories that come from it. There is also no denying that White \u2014 well spoken, intelligent, personable, and polite \u2014 might not be homeless had his life played out differently.<\/p>\n

He is now 42 years old and lives in Dania Beach, but was born in Harris County, Texas. Soon after he was born, his mother moved him and his seven siblings to Los Angeles, California where they slept in a van until Child Protective Services took each child into custody. White was placed in the foster care system at one and a half years old, and moved from home to home throughout the Los Angeles area, eventually ending up in Compton for high school. He and his siblings had been separated and sent to live in different homes, resulting in White losing contact with them, and losing his only support system as well.<\/p>\n

Growing up in the foster care system came with a number of difficulties for him. He was physically abused from the ages of two to 14, and, on top of that, White consistently got the impression that the California foster care system was more about making money than truly supporting a child\u2019s needs.<\/p>\n

He recalls one of his foster mothers constantly saying, \u201cYou are just my foster child. I can give you up anytime. I can get another one of you in a matter of days, in a matter of hours. You leave today, I\u2019ll have another one of you tomorrow.\u201d His foster mother\u2019s family also expressed the same sentiments towards him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith all of that going on, you either do one of two things: you either kill yourself or you become an angry child, and the only thing angry children can do is misbehave,\u201d White said. \u201cI was just angry at what was going on, and I didn\u2019t know how to express it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI think that\u2019s the stereotype as black men that we do get \u2014 that we\u2019re thugs and we\u2019re just trying to rob you. I don\u2019t need to rob you. I\u2019ve never stolen anything a day in my life. I\u2019ll go without before I rob someone.\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

White\u2019s lashing out resulted in him living in over 20 foster homes until he turned 18. \u201cYou end up going from one home to another because they don\u2019t think you\u2019re capable of behaving yourself,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

His misbehavior finally ended in high school when he developed a closer friendship with Stephanie Dupin, a relative of one of his foster mothers. \u201cShe would pick me up, take me over to her house, and when I was with her, I felt like a normal child,\u201d White said. \u201cShe made me feel like I was wanted, I was important, I was loved.\u201d<\/p>\n

When he was in his sophomore year of high school, Dupin passed away from kidney cancer at age 47. \u201cThat was one of the worst things I\u2019ve ever experienced in my life because my mind said, \u2018Now who\u2019s going to protect me?\u2019\u201d White recalls.<\/p>\n

All of the emotions hit him at Dupin\u2019s memorial when he locked himself inside of a bathroom and \u201ccried like a baby\u201d on the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I got up off the floor, I said to myself, \u2018I have to change. I have to do something better. I have to do better than this because if nobody else is going to protect me then I have to protect myself.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

White turned to reading, writing, and focusing on his schoolwork to distract from the abuse as well as the heartache of losing Dupin. He also joined the ROTC program at his high school.<\/p>\n

At 18 years old, he aged out of the foster care system and, by law, was no longer entitled to live with a foster family. \u201cIf you\u2019re not really prepared, or if they haven\u2019t prepared you, it\u2019s like they\u2019re taking you to the streets, so I had to deal with that, and I almost committed suicide,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

White ended up staying with a minister until he got accepted into Job Corps, a program within the U.S. Department of Labor, which helps people from the ages of 16 to 24 learn new skills and prepares them for the workforce. He applied for the training at the beginning of his twelfth grade year as he did not know where he would go after foster care.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew I was going to have three meals a day. I knew I\u2019d have a place to stay. I knew I\u2019d have some sort of training. I\u2019d be okay,\u201d he said explaining his decision to enter the Job Corps.<\/p>\n

He stayed at Job Corps for two years where he was enrolled in their hotel management program. He excelled there \u2014 finishing classes quicker than most as he was a fast reader. He also was Vice President of Job Corps\u2019 Student Government and the president of the dorms.<\/p>\n

Following his graduation from Job Corps, White worked at the front desk of a hotel in Long Beach for a short period of time, but decided to leave when he felt he would be unable to grow at the company due to his race. He and two of his friends from Job Corps decided to travel across the country in search of better opportunities. The three would start their morning at local day labor agencies to see what work they could pick up.<\/p>\n

Most of the jobs that White found were in demolition and renovating. Still, neither White nor his friends were finding enough work or making enough money to survive. After traveling from state to state in search of job opportunities, the three finally ended up in South Florida.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cJust to come out here daily, have people curse you out, throw things at you, spit at you, put their dogs on you, lock windows \u2014 you start getting a mental picture that everybody hates you,\u201d he explained.<\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n

White, who was starving because he did not have the funds to eat for three days, called 911 in search of help. The emergency line directed him to call 411 instead, with the operator telling him about the COSAC Foundation in Hollywood, Florida. When he arrived at the shelter, White \u2014 who is 5\u20197\u201d \u2014 weighed only 120 pounds due to frequently lacking the funds to eat while on the road. After struggling to find consistent work, White decided to stay at the COSAC shelter with his friends deciding to continue on.<\/p>\n

There, he was able to get meals in exchange for vending newspapers. This was an entirely new experience for White who had never done that type of work. \u201cI\u2019m a California boy, so vending papers means going door to door to sell papers, dropping papers off at a newsstand. That\u2019s what my interpretation about vending papers was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When White actually saw what vending papers entailed he was stunned. He never anticipated standing in the middle of a busy intersection vending newspapers to cars stopped at a light. \u201cIt was a new, shocking experience because you don\u2019t do this in California,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Now, White has been with the COSAC Foundation on and off since 2002. In the times that he left, he would go in search of friends or potential family members to stay with. The COSAC Foundation has undergone some changes in that time as well. They no longer have a shelter in Hollywood, but instead have a home in Dania Beach.<\/p>\n

When White vends newspapers, he is sometimes out the door by 5:30 a.m. to get on the shelter\u2019s shuttle, which takes him to a location for the day to dispense copies of
\nThe Homeless Voice
\n<\/i>. He often does not return to the shelter until 7 p.m. White and the other vendors work six days a week, rain or shine. \u201cWe walk all day. Some of us don\u2019t take any breaks and it\u2019s just physically exhausting\u2026 a lot of people can\u2019t do it,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of people can\u2019t come out here and take the abuse we take and smile about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

He understands that people often have a stigma towards those who are homeless \u2014 and is no stranger to it.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust to come out here daily, have people curse you out, throw things at you, spit at you, put their dogs on you, lock windows \u2014 you start getting a mental picture that everybody hates you,\u201d he explained. \u201cYou feel like you\u2019re not a human being to the point where you say, \u2018I might as well kill myself\u2019. People make you feel that you\u2019re not worth it, that you don\u2019t exist, that you\u2019re trash even though they don\u2019t even know you.\u201d<\/p>\n

White admits that people treating him this way often times leads to him feeling depressed. It disheartens him to know that many people assume he does drugs or has an addiction. In reality, he has never done drugs, does not smoke, and does not drink. \u201cI\u2019m a strong willed, strong minded kind of person, and it took me coming out here and doing this to even know that,\u201d he said with conviction. When the job starts to take an emotional toll on him, he knows he has to just \u201ckeep going\u201d and \u201ckeep striving.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dWhat keeps me going is wanting to know what\u2019s going to happen tomorrow and then wanting to see what\u2019s going to happen the next day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\u201cA lot of people can\u2019t come out here and take the abuse we take and smile about it,\u201d Michael White said.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Still, it can be difficult to do that when it feels like people have already made up their mind about you. \u201cMost people see me and they go, \u2018You\u2019re homeless \u2014 either you\u2019re an addict or a thug,\u2019\u201d White said. \u201cI think that\u2019s the stereotype as black men that we do get \u2014 that we\u2019re thugs and we\u2019re just trying to rob you. I don\u2019t need to rob you. I\u2019ve never stolen anything a day in my life. I\u2019ll go without before I rob someone.\u201d<\/p>\n

He wishes that people would ask questions before assuming anything about him. He also wishes people knew that he is intelligent. \u201cI read constantly. I\u2019m always reading something. I\u2019m always trying to educate my mind \u2014 always trying to think beyond the basic boxes,\u201d he said, elaborating on some of his favorite authors \u2014 Iyanla Vanzant, Gary Zukav, and Toni Morrison.<\/p>\n

While reading provides him with a temporary distraction, he still wakes up everyday ready to brave strangers, stigmas, and whatever comes his way. White understands that not everyone has money to give and that does not bother him. He just wants people to be \u201ckind\u201d and \u201ccaring\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to give me a dime. If you just say \u2018Hi\u2019 to me or \u2018How\u2019s your day going?\u2019 \u2014 that makes me feel like a better person because that lets me know you\u2019re at least thinking, you at least have me in some part, some fraction of your mind.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
