70 year old Robert has been homeless most of his life but not anymore thanks to a kind Harris County Sheriff's Deputy.At 70 years old, one Houstonian has actually spent more time homeless than he has living in his own home. However, this Thanksgiving he is no longer on the street thanks to a kind-hearted Harris County Sheriff’s deputy. The 70-year-old’s loved ones say knowing he’s no longer homeless is truly a holiday miracle.
"They take his wallet. They take his cell phone, his blankets, his backpack," Holub says about her Uncle Robert, who's now in a wheelchair. "It feels good to be able to say hey this is actually going to be your last day on the streets. We’re actually going to get you a warm place to sleep and a place you can call home now," says Soria. After connecting him to resources such as a caseworker, "A lot of times he would get a caseworker that wouldn’t be able to find him and the case would just basically get dropped," Soria explains.
