In this Nov. 30, 2012, photo, Ben Shipe crouches below the Patterson Street overpass where he has lived with his wife Debbie for last week since coming from Tallahassee after losing his construction job, in Valdosta, Ga. The Shipes are two of about 15 homeless individuals living under the overpass. And while food donations are always welcome, they and others want not for sustenance, but need employment and a safe place to stay and sleep comfortably. For someone to be on their side when they genuinely call for help.
