Dear Jessica Brennan, 

There are so many words we can’t say anymore, and hobo is certainly one of them. However, doing some research, I found that the origin of the term hobo was a shortened version of homeward bound.

It got me thinking about the people I’ve met who’ve experienced homelessness. I know they would happily embrace the label of hobo if it meant they were heading home.

Love,

Mum xo
