SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — A warm apartment with a stove, shower, and toilet are all things Antonio Roberti will never take for granted.
“You get very happy for the little things in life. A trashcan, broom, plunger. You know the basic things you need when you live in your own place,” Roberti said.
When asked what it was like when he got his first plunger, Roberti described it as an “interesting moment.”
“You feel like you’re living again kind of,” he said.
Roberti was one of nearly 500 veterans who lived on the streets of San Diego in 2023, according to data from the Regional Task Force for Homelessness.
“Sleeping on cold concrete is rough. Definitely gives you a new view of the world. I don’t want to cry or anything,” Roberti said.
