Chris is a talented guy.  You wouldn't know it by the way he dresses or talks, but he is experiencing homelessness. Chris is soft-spoken, full of ideas and looking for work. When Chris is stressed, you can find him at a park shooting hoops. Chris says he wants the money from this painting to the Homeless Refuge that serves Livermore, Pleasanton, & Dublin, run by Bob and Donna Mckenzie. I think we should also get him a gym membership where he can hoop and shower.
