One of my first post’s touched on the subject. I still see them everywhere. I know they all have a story. One day I think I may stop one and ask “how” this has become their reality.

I know I have had a scare with a crazy homeless man who grabbed my nicely washed sweater, leaving his greasy prints all over it! So, there is fear with helping some of them because you just never know. However, I do put some change in the cups of the homeless representatives who say they have fresh sandwiches and snacks. I always give to them. What's weird is the picture of the woman eating where there is a homeless person right under her. Yuck. I'm sorry but I wouldn't be having a meal where there is a homeless individual sitting so close.

I've learned that homelessness doesn't judge. That it can happen to anyone of us. I think people ignore them not because they don’t like them, but they feel that they can’t help them.
