But some actually threw the food back and demanded money. I know it's a small number and most people are grateful for anything but it's a little bit of a negative reality checksarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00192633969552486201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196130563426744240.post-21479800121050778022009-06-06T18:54:00.593+08:002009-06-06T18:54:00.593+08:00Thanks for sharing!

(That applies to you too, NRose and Valerie) If everyone were as generous and compassionate, I'm sure we could find a way to solve most of the world's humanitarian problems.<br /><br />I can't say I've had that many encounters with the stereotypical "homeless person", as I live in a pretty small community and there are awesome support services here. Those I know who don't have homes of their own to live in are usually broke students (like me!) who can't pay the rent but can stay temporarily with friends (like me). It's not a lot, but at least it means they have somewhere safe to hang out for a bit while they work through their problems.<br /><br />Much love to you!<br /><br />xothe girl with the pink teacuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899687576835455016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196130563426744240.post-12585772952684278372009-06-06T12:41:22.715+08:002009-06-06T12:41:22.715+08:00Thanks for stopping by NSRose :) That's actual...Thanks for stopping by NSRose :) That's actually a good idea, handing out unwanted food at home to those who really need it.Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127503738523050253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196130563426744240.post-52629665582142272942009-06-06T12:35:34.111+08:002009-06-06T12:35:34.111+08:00That's very kind of you Valerie! And it's ...That's very kind of you Valerie! And it's true, I think it would be much better to offer them food instead of money. Most teens who live on the street here use an inhalant found in households called 'Rugby'. And once they are “high” they forget the painful hunger they have been battling for days.Tabithahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127503738523050253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196130563426744240.post-5340213849857479832009-06-06T08:35:34.211+08:002009-06-06T08:35:34.211+08:00wow, i love this blog. i'm originally from chi...wow, i love this blog. i'm originally from chicago, and the typical treatment towards the homeless is just to blow them off. <br /><br />me and my friends used to get all the stuff in our pantries that we didn't remember the reason for buying in the first place and just handing it out. <br /><br />no need to be stingy.NSRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04036808042897445831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8196130563426744240.post-74154935703765061692009-06-06T03:51:06.948+08:002009-06-06T03:51:06.948+08:00I used to give out food to homeless people when I ...I used to give out food to homeless people when I lived in minneapolis, mn because it seems I saw them there alot. I'd also buy them something at a restaurant if that's where I was going, or give them something other than food that they needed. Personally I have limited funds and I don't want it to go towards an addiction- I won't even lend money to my friends for a pack of cigarettes- and many homeless people unfortunately have some kind of mental disorder and are forced to self medicate with illegal drugs.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324074437295762188noreply@blogger.com
