One of the major issues outdoors is Trench Foot. What is Trench Foot? Its also known as immersion foot which occurs when the feet are wet for long periods of time. It can be very painful, but it can be prevented and treated. The challenge for our friends outdoors is staying dry when the rains come. Our friends are always moving around finding places to stay and walking miles a day is a common theme. Once your feet get wet and your living outdoors there is nothing you can really do other then wearing wet socks and wet foot wear. Today we came across our friend in severe pain and he was limping severly. Doc Lehman and Steve (Ms3) from upstate treated our friend by assessing his feet,drying them off and even put on his dry new socks for him. Other than giving him medical care they brought compassion and dignity to him right at street level. Having a medical team with our street outreach is such a valuable tool to show our friends we truly care about them. Doc will follow up with our friend on Thursday and we will do everything possible to encourage our friend to make a true change in his life. Socks are big on the streets and with your support we are able to bring fresh socks out every week.
