Houseparent, Carolyn McGregor
When she was a young girl she would come up to Mission Bay, with her parents from her home town of El Centro, to visit the beach. She remembers her first time seeing a homeless person, and her mother explaining to her that not everybody has a house or family. It made her realize that the world is not perfect. She was 7 years old when it took place. She was innocent because she thought everyone had a warm bed and people to look out for them. When she realized that the world is tough and scary it made her sad. This experience helped her to become compassionate because she wanted to try and help those people and make them feel the love she felt and feels from her family. To this day she likes to help homeless people by giving them food or spare money or even a smile :) and a hello.
