Homeless Man Fights To Stay Warm

Clinton Davis and his wife have been homeless for the past two years. They've been sleeping in their beat-up pick-up truck or in a tent out in the backwoods of Baldwin County.

"Last night was rough," says Davis. "It was so cold, we had blankets but it wasn't enough. Sometimes you just feel like dying because the pain of the cold is so bad. It rips and cuts right through you."

Temperatures Thursday morning are expected to plunge into the teens across much of the Gulf Coast. Davis has been watching the weather forecast closely.

"Our truck is so old, there's no heater," says Davis. "And the tent is even colder than inside the truck. We just cuddle together and try and stay warm and say a prayer and hope for the best."

Davis and his wife stopped by Catholic Social Services in Robertsdale hoping to get some help.

"Homeless people and cold weather are a big problem here," says Michelle Prockup, director of the non-profit organization. "We don't have a shelter in Baldwin County for the homeless."

Prockup and employees at a local bank gave the couple warm jackets, gloves and coats. Catholic Social Services also found them a motel room to stay warm in tonight.
