I used to be generous and give them my change or food or whatever I had on me that I could spare.
But I realize that they're choosing to be homeless. I don't know if they just don't want to work, they feel embarassed, or think they can't get a job, but I know a few chain-restaurants & stores that they can work at. There are shelters who can help them get back on their feet again- only if they chose to.
Also, if I were to give to one homeless person, I'd want to give to all of them.
There's plenty they can do if they want to. I don't want to assume, but I hope they aren't doing it for pity......which I am sure is true for most of them, but who's to say. They all can do something about it.
