How do you feel about homelessness..?

Question

starting a volunteer service for the homeless.

how can i help them get jobs and shelter and food

Answer 1

We found out in our town that some of the homeless prefer to remain that way and some truly are looking for a way out while others its just findin money for a bottle of cheap wine or some drugs.Its sort of hard to tell who needs true help and who dont.But  never give cash give food or clothes .Go visit a place that works with the homeless and speak to them and they can better guide you in the right direction on that issue

Answer 2

First of all, they have to want to make their own situations better, and they have to be willing to work to do it.  Most of them are homeless because they refuse to work, or refuse to get help for a drinking/drug problem, or a combination of both.

Answer 3

i feel that we need to stop giving so much care to the homeless and unemployed people. by giving them so much help they arent as motivated to get jobs and such on their own. and we end up paying for them through our tax dollars.

Answer 4

Do you mean those who had all the power in the world to design their own future, but abused it with alcohol, drugs, tobacco, and s*x, and are now paying for their wrongdoings?

Or do you mean those who grew up in a bad environment from the beginning, and desperately try to accomplish anything to get a better life, but unfortunately, have little to no control to getting a good future?

The group that I mentioned first, I believe deserves no respect. If they want to ruin their lives, they can go ahead and do that. But I absolutely will NOT  subsidize them when they come running back crying for help. They shaped their own future, and deserve what they have received.

The second group, however, I feel much sympathy for. It really is unfortunate that some innocent citizens in this world aren't entitled to the privileges they deserve all because they were born to a rotten backround. I would go to far strides to help such a group.

Answer 5

Confucius says : a good government should be ashamed there is poverty. A bad government should be ashamed there is wealth.

I think homelessness is horrible. You could volunteer for meals on wheels your the local shelter. You could start a fundraiser to support the local shelter and kitchens.

Answer 6

I think our people should come first before economic migrants.I think we should deal with those in Hostels with emotional problems.I think we should be more tolerant of homeless and I am sick of well dressed peole even foreigners criticising the homeless.

Answer 7

Homelessness is no fun at all. It is difficult to stay clean and fed, much less find a spot to 'camp' where the cops won't bother you.Providing phones, showers, food and job placement is vital.  

There seems to be 3 kinds of homeless: down on their luck-they bounce back. Mental cases-sad, but true. The anti-social misfit that lies, steals, does drugs and booze and doesn't care--the worst. Some of the misfits will fake 'mental' to keep bleeding the system. Help the first two, discourage the third.

Answer 8

i think that if yo really want to help them just leave them to God because god really knows what situation they are in.

and i think that god knows what he is doing by these homeless people , they might have done something wrong in their lives and God is punishing them now so you never know.

I thik that good homeless people just deserve it. If you really want to donate something it is really up to you because you are the one who really wants to help and this is a really good thing for you like you feel people.

if you really want to help

Each summer if you buy new clothes or shoes or any thing

just donate your old ones instead of throuing them in the mouth of the garabage .

if you want to change your furniture put it outside your house and them the next day you will find that somebody came and took it , so it might be homeless people .

these are some really good ways of doing them.

Giving money is areally good thing unless if you really don't need it. so they might buy new things or save some money for their hose that they might want to buy in the future okay.

Don't give up. My father used to give money for poor people .

and help them and instead of throuing your food that isn't needed in home just give it belive me that it is not a shame these people just need any thing to survive so do your best and you will find it in heaven.
