Without the means to make money, one homeless couple in Anchorage is visited frequently by a generous man who provides food and water for them and their 7-year-old dog, Charlie.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A homeless couple living in the Third Avenue and Ingra Street encampment in Downtown Anchorage, also known as ‘tent city,’ found themselves living in dangerous surroundings after their truck broke down roughly three months ago.
Without the means to make money, the couple is visited frequently by a generous Anchorage man who provides food and water for the couple and their 7-year-old dog, Charlie. “They really need the help and [Hogan] can’t leave [Bismark] at the camp by herself because it’s too dangerous,” Meyers said. “Man, that helps a lot, that cuts out some of the stress right there, because I’m worried about how I’m going to feed [Charlie] and begging out here on the street,” Hogan said.“Whenever I make money, I have to do it day by day and being out here, I’m like Daniel in the lion’s den,” Hogan said. “Man, it’s all-out drugs here, you can pull up, honk a horn and get anything you want. That’s crazy, never seen nothing like it.
