Thank you for this. Just the simple fact of how low and humiliating it is to beg for money is enough to me... I always try to help the homeless when I can.
One thing that I have learned helps them is taking the time to have a conversation with someone that's homeless. Treat them like everyone else... after getting put down day after day and treated like scum, having someone treat you like just another normal person can be extremely uplifting. Also helps one to see past the whole "They are just getting one over on the system" rhetoric.
My heart goes out to anyone who is experiencing homelessness... I wish we lived in a world where that wasn't a thing. Hopefully one day it won't be.
