[QUOTE="seeking.IAM, post: 76611520, member: 27709"] I agree with this. I help who I can but I can't help everybody. So I developed my rule of the segment I would help. I attend a downtown church a few blocks from a homeless shelter. Sunday mass is about the time the shelter is turning out the homeless for the day. It has been fairly common to be asked for money on the way into church so I always go prepared for that. And, yes, it's not uncommon to share a pew with a homeless person, either. I don't judge. I've had homeless people accept my money and literally run across the street to McDonald's. As for those who worry about addictions, I say even addicted people have to eat sometime. There are some interesting studies out there about how homeless people spend money, studies that refute that most of it goes to feed addictions. [/QUOTE]
