They say the worst thing you can do is give money to a homeless person on the street, if you want to help give it a legitimate organization that works at getting them working on off the street not just funding a habit. I have no problem helping people who need help,everyone needs help at some point with something, but most homeless around here don't want help they want a hand out
Yup I get a monthly news letter from Denver Rescue Mission and even they say handouts are a temporary fix and for long term help refer the homeless to them and their programs.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
