Regular

And due to a change in name, Helinski soon forgot about it. He remembers, “It was Landmark Bank, and then it became Bank of America.” Whereas he was struggling to live another day on the street, the benefits were paid into his account regularly.    

Confusion And Disbelief

Due to the change in the name of the bank, he had forgotten about it. This is strange how could someone forget their bank account. Helinski had the memories of the bank erased from his mind due to the fact that the account was not storing much money.      

Starting To Become Clear

As mentioned earlier, Helinski was an American citizen so he did have social security benefits. And it is because of that the amount in his bank was increasing year after year. The money that was forgotten and unspent had grown into a valuable amount by then. 

Amount

Finally, the team got their hands on it. We don’t know the exact amount but have been told that it is good. Helinski’s carer did not know how to react. He indeed had never seen a case like this. So what was going to happen next?   

Securing House

Officer McDonald said, “I think we were both stunned, not quite sure what to say.” Well, the statement pretty much sums up their situation when they learned about it. Though the amount was not very big, it was more than enough to help him have some secure housing. 

   It’s A Job

McDonald explained, “As a homeless liaison officer, the bread and butter of my work often involves hopping department to department trying to help homeless people find the ID they need in order to get things like work and housing.”
