I was homeless for 2 years (off and on) and never asked for a dime from anyone. What did my experience on the street teach me? PEOPLE SHOULD NEVER GIVE MONEY OR ANYTHING TO THE HOMELESS. They have welfare and they have soup kitchens. If that's not good enough, something is wrong with them and 20 bucks will only add fuel to the fire.
I’m fine with helping someone out, but honestly? Be honest lol Did you ever see the dude outside the crack macs train station with the “going home to Montreal tomorrow” sign? He was there every day for a couple years at least lol
One of my friends became homeless after high school and I would hang out with him and his friends, they would panhandle at the train stations until they had enough for booze/drugs and then went to the Cecil lmao Some of them were genuinely dealt shitty hands in life but most had middle class suburban families who were looking for them
There was this guy that used to sit outside the liquor store all day and all night and I used to always give him change. Until one day someone I knew befriended him and the guy revealed he lived in an apartment not too far away, and was usually sitting on a couple hundred bucks and a carton worth of cigarettes that he bummed off of people each day He had it down to a science
