Have you ever been begged for money by a homeless person?

Yes, I do. The majority of the people on the streets have physical and mental issues. I always try to put myself in their shoes . How would I feel if I was out there on the hard, cold streets . Some of them do drugs as a way to cope with their illnesses or reality. If it's hard to get a job in this economy now imagine the chances of a homeless person getting the same opportunities as you. Not gonna happen unless, they get help outside help and I don't mean just by getting a dollar.

i do no longer supply to people working the streets. I even have till now, yet i began out noticing that the comparable people have been "working" the comparable intersections with the comparable indicators: "automobile broke down, prefer money to get homestead to California." And the "will artwork for nutrients" persons truly won't, they are playing that sturdy people will merely supply them money. My church provided a guy money if he might do some backyard artwork at our church. He had one hundred explanation why he could no longer. of path he nevertheless needed the money. No, i do no longer think it truly is the government's place to safeguard the homeless. every time the government is in touch, it finally ends up being a extensive snafu and is rarely low-funds. i think of families and church homes and the indoors maximum sector ought to safeguard this. I continually supply to the Salvation military and Feed the youngsters, so i think gentle with my charitable giving. lots of the homeless in my neck of the woods are homeless because of the fact they like to be.

Well it's important to treat everyone humanly, smile. There was one guy who asked and I had no change and I said sorry no, and he just said that's okay, and said Canada is beautiful isn't it, have a good day. Haha he's clever.

People with addictions have complicated lives and I don't like to think that deep. It's not like porno to me or prostitution. If I have a quarter or a dollar or something I give it, end of story.

There isn't any homeless people where I live but one time up in L.A. there was a homeless guy holding a sign and we were in traffic and he came up to the passenger window of my truck so I was gonna give him a 20 dollar bill but my sister was too scared to roll down her window lmao so we just ignored him.

I only had 5$ once, a homeless man was begging for my money. I couldn't give it to him but instead I walked to McDonald's and bought him a burger and fry. When I gave it to him he said "I didn't want this." Me being highly pissed set it down next to him. When I walked away I heard him asking people for money saying he was selling the burger and fry I bought him.

People these days.

I live in NYC what do you think?

It happends every day, you just say I don't have money and keep walking,don't stop and talk to him. Or you can do what rich people do and jist ignore him and keep walking.
