They say that April showers bring May flowers, but here in Austin, Texas, it looks like June has brought the monsoon. The central Texas hill country has been hit hard this month with some heavy rain fall causing floods that left some people without homes. This just goes to show that it can happen to anyone, at any time, and all it can take is an act of nature to confront us with the reality of losing everything. Knowing that, we can practice ‘Gratitude’ for what we do have, as Fred Pettit shares with us in his story on page one of this months edition.

This month is jammed with plenty of other great writing, so much so, that on this rare occasion we’ve selected not one, but TWO featured online articles for you to enjoy. The first is Blue Water Ninja, by Leefrnk, and the second is A System of Terror Against Blacks, Latinos, and Native Americans, by Sue Gabriel. If you enjoy these articles, why not make a small donation and pick up a fresh PDF copy of the paper below. Your contributions directly support the many writers and distributors of the Challenger Newspaper working to lift themselves out of poverty and life on the streets.

Fear not, here at last is the coveted monthly edition of the Challenger Street Newspaper for the month of May 2015! We are all faced with challenges sometimes, even your dedicated webmaster. But the human spirit is irrepressible, and can never be broken. Our friends living homeless on the streets of Austin may be down but they’re not out.

The featured online article this month is ‘All Love’ about Austin Atheists Helping the Homeless. Thanks as always to all our readers for your support, and helping to give everyone at the Challenger a hand up.

Hola! Hello! Howdy! How y’all doing? Great, I hope. Get ready, because we’re about to unleash another stupendous, and never horrendous, big, bad, issue of THE CHALLENGER! We hope you get as much enjoyment out of reading our paper each and every month, as we do in publishing it. Remember, no matter how low life has gotten you, there’s always something to look forward to, and enjoy, even if that’s just taking a moment or two to kick your feet up, sit back and take in some world-class writing, like this month’s featured online article from regular Challenger contributor Jeff Tydeman, Death and the Dispossessed.

As always, more great content awaits you, at your fingertips below, for a small donation that helps support our work and our mission to end homelessness in Austin, TX and worldwide.
