Journalist Thanks All Those Who Helped Her Homeless Sibling
Lisa Suhay's brother Adam Goldenthal died just before the holidays.
It was a tough Thanksgiving for journalist, children’s author and PETA media researcher Lisa Suhay. Before the holiday, her 45-year-old brother Adam Goldenthal – who was bipolar and lived in and out of homelessness for years on the streets of New York – was found dead in a city subway station, where he had made a bed out of flattened cardboard boxes.
In a Nov. 24 post for the Christian Science Monitor that was reprinted over the weekend by the New York Post, Suhay shares some of the harsh realities of having a troubled brother:
