Everytime I drive by Target Walmart, Food max, etc. theres always a homeless person asking for money or food. I used to always give change but Now I have second thoughts about them. Because they look young enough to still get a job, they either have a bike or dog with them & some even smoke cigs. Where do they get the markers and supplies to make their "have any spare change" "war veteran, needs help" or "anything will help" signs? I always wonder what they will do with the spare change that I give them because of chances of them spending it on food is '????' Cos some of those homeless people are/were drug addicts
I feel bad for them especially the ones that have a child with them but sometimes I don't. |

My grandmother and I always give here and there but we try not to make it a routine so that they would start to rely on us. Near where I live, there are a lot of homeless people. The only one we give to on a daily is this young girl and her dog in Manhattan...the dog...must be hungry
