John

John grew up in Northern California. He did well in school and earned a master’s in social psychology from Stanford University. For the next 30 years he had great jobs at JPL/NASA, USC and Cal State LA. Then he suffered a stroke which led to speech and memory loss. John could not continue working in his profession. Soon he could not afford his monthly condo rental and was evicted. For the next six years, he lived in a field with only a mattress and a pillow as a bed. After a really bad time on the streets, he came to Centennial Place. With Union Station, John is working on restoring his health and life.
