www.myrtlebeachonline.com/news/local/article244720087.htmlThe Reynolds, who own the Recovery Ranch for recovering addicts in Loris, believe Cowboy’s real name is Jim Willie Caldwell, but there’s no way to know for sure — he doesn’t have a driver’s license, state ID, Social Security card or any known family.
Christa Reynolds stumbled across him in late February or early March while at a Loris hospital with another Recovery Ranch resident. She overheard Caldwell, who prefers his nickname “Cowboy,” speaking with a nurse and a caseworker and gathered that he didn’t have any identification or money. After waiting patiently, she interjected and offered to take him to the Recovery Ranch. One of the hospital employees told her that wasn’t an option because he didn’t have any money, she said.
“And I said, ‘he is absolutely an option,’” Christa Reynolds told The Sun News.
At the Recovery Ranch, residents care for animals and work on the ranch in exchange for food and housing. Caldwell has been there ever since.

Nice uplifting story.... thanks for posting.
But it is sad that even in this day and age there are still people out the that are essentially 'invisible'. And I am not referring to the 'off the grid-ers' that are that by choice.
