Big Money-to the- Curb

The Rico E. Harris Story

I was a very productive and highly decorated federal employeefor 26 years that owned a very successful company that I started in my shed. Married for 17 years and raising 3 children.  Own a beautiful home in Springdale MD, pretty cars, nice furniture, the latest electronics, fine jewelry, three bank accounts, and was the “Boss of the kingdom” at home and on the job.

 I am 52 years old, born and raised in Washington DC, attended Catholic school, Bowie State College and the University of the District of Columbia. I also lived 40+ years with Undiagnosed Major Depression. Now I can say that I have slept anywhere from the finest hotels in the country to abandon houses, abandon cars, shelters, and the curb. I have eaten fillet mignon to anything I can get my hands on.

Currently I am homeless, my mental disability is stable through psychotherapy & medication, and as a volunteer I am the Executive Director of the largest shelter in the country, (The Community for Creative Non-Violence) which provides shelter services for 700+ homeless people on any given day. I am also a Nationally Certified Addictions Counselor. In addition I have learned to appreciate what I consider an extremely miraculous one-on-one relationship with GOD, one that I had all of my life.
