These are the cries of man who, despite his extreme state of destitution, never gave up. Bernard S George is a homeless and blind writer. Mr. George is a native of Grenada who spent some time in Trinidad and Tobago before migrating to the US back in the 80s. Back in his native Grenada, Bernard was construction entrepreneur, specializing in industrial painting. However, he as always had a passion for literature and started writing as early as 10 years old. While his entourage considered him very gifted with words, Bernard kept most of his work for himself. Even though his ardent desire for literature was never put off, he soon found himself caught up in the construction business, a hobby he developed while working as custom officer in Trinidad. Fortunately for Bernard the construction business took off very quickly and before he knew it, he was one the biggest painting contractor in the country. Because of constant political unrest in, both Trinidad and Grenada, and driven by the American dream, Bernard moved to the USA, with his family, in the mid 80s in search of better life. Just like any new comers, their first few years were full of challenges, but Bernard and his family soon adjusted to new home. To sustain his family, Bernard worked as painting contractor, first New York and later in Atlanta, while wife stayed at home, taking care of their children and babysitting the neighbors' kids. In the late 90s Bernard was diagnosed with glaucoma and cataract, a bane that evolved very quickly and would soon completely rid Bernard of his eyesight. With his eyesight completely gone, Mr. George was no longer the bread winner, and as a result his wife and children, the oldest of whom are now in their early 20s, left him.
