I walk for miles along a certain street to relax, but every time, I notice this old man who also walks the street. Only, the poor man is walking literally bent over, I mean, REALLY bent over, it looks like he's picking up a penny, only that's how he walks. I can't imagine the pain he must be in. He has no wheelchair, no walker, not even a cane. I pass by him a few times a day sometimes, and I really want to help make things more bearable for this man. I suspect he's homeless, but I see him with a portable radio and sometimes, grocery bags. I hate to sound judgemental, but he looks like he could be mentally unstable, so I've been too nervous to do anything but give him a kind smile or say a shakey "hello". I volunteer for a nursing home. Do you think I should buy a cane and just hand it to him (how much do they cost?)? Do you think the hospital can make arrangements to get this man a wheelchair? I just can't ignore this problem. What can I do to help him?
