There is a homeless shelter in my town that we support. When a transient asks me for money, I direct them to where they can get food, clothing, shelter, and a job. They never seem interested. I suppose they already knew about it but didn't go. A few times some have appeared to be legitimately victims of unusual bad luck and I offered to buy them a meal, but each time they only wanted cash.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoWhen I was homeless I knew where to get food. I had a place to sleep safer than the shelter. No one was going to give me a job. What I needed was money to buy a coffee and sit and charge my phone and get out of the weather for a few hours. To buy aspirin and clean socks, cash to wash my clothes and sleeping bag. Toothpaste, shoelaces. Just a dozen little things that cost a few dollars I didn't have.
