Willie Mae White died on January 21, 2014. She froze to death at a bus station in Joliet, Illinois. She frequently stayed at that bus station, because she was homeless. White's name was known. However, The National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that 700 people like White die from exposure each year. Sadly, many of these people's identities are unknown.
Although we live in one of the most technologically developed countries in the world, we still have people freezing to death on our streets. Perhaps more disturbing is the fact that this problem continues each year and is mostly ignored by the public. It receives little or no media coverage, and our society as a whole chooses to look the other way.
Homeless individuals have lives like anyone else. They love. They laugh. They hurt. They cry. There has to be a remedy. I wrote White in order to bring attention to an issue that deserves our focus. It is dedicated to the victims of winter.
