Stranger #19 - Sonja

Sonja was hitchhiking in snow and I gave her a quick ride to mid-town. Sonja works in landscaping and has been in Alaska since 1964. She's going through a rough patch right now but has a warm place to stay at the Rescue Mission. I get the impression from Sonja that she has been through quite a bit in life, but presses on, which I respect greatly. I don't see her on the streets begging for money, only asking for a lift, and getting help at the Resue Mission instead of sleeping on the streets. Here's to Sonja, and finding her purpose in life.
