A GoFundMe for a homeless former newspaper art critic has nearly reached $100,000 after a piece he wrote on his experience has gone viral.
Patrick Fealey chronicled the story of his life in Westerly, Rhode Island for Esquire in a 9,000-word article titled The Invisible Man published this month. In the piece, Fealey, 59, who recently became homeless, describes living in his 2013 Totoya Corolla and trying to get back on his feet while navigating a lack of social services available to people like him.
