Community Service

We have what we call "social security net" or "welfare" to help those in need. We also have so many community services, non-profit services, Salvation Army programs or servives, low-income housing, emergency housing, etc.......but more and more people have claimed that they are homeless; they live in parks, on the streets, under the bridge, parking lots, etc. with tents, garbages, feces and waste etc. -- Why? How can we help them? How can we improve the looks of our streets and city?

I read this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ap9ATiSiV79T_rO0if_cVkTpy6IX?qid=20061121155642AA9yYO2

and I like the idea. A lot of people support the idea of giving away free money to a complete stranger. I am a complete stranger. Would you give me money or are all of you just talk, I mean you all can say you'd do this heroic task of giving a stranger money but can you actually do it? If so, I'll gratefully accept $1,000 so that I can finally accomplish various things I've wanted to do in my life, pay my bills and help my family.

Don't people have bills to pay? I am not saying not to help other people. Helping others is good. But, why not help one of your relatives or people in your immediate family or someone you love? Why would you waste it on people who aren't even connected to your life in any way?

Not just that though but don't you have things you wish you could do but don't have the money to do them? I don't mean giving your money to a stranger. What I mean for example is, I've always wanted to go to a better college (community college) but I am unable to afford it. Or I've always wanted to make my own movie but lack the money to afford the equipment, actors, and other things to do so. Don't people have any aspirations that you'd like to accomplish instead of throwing them all away for someone you don't know?

If anything what about the costs of living to s

"These children need food, medical care, schooling, and a place they can call home. They need love, care, and nurturing. People who will sponsor them in Jesus' name, and give them a secure future. People who will raise them in Christian homes and prepare them to be productive citizens of Zimbabwe."

There is no reason for anyone in America to be homeless for more
than a few months. Except for laziness, addiction and mental illness. There is plenty of help available for those willing to work.
In any major city there is more free food available than a person could eat. Even if you work for minimum wage you can get food stamps and HUD housing and help with your utilities and get by just fine. We do need these safety nets because sometimes people need help and they deserve it. But I don't see the logic in giving a homeless person money that will most likely be spent on alcohol or drugs. This enables them to stay homeless and addicted indefinitely. You're not helping them. "Will work for food"
is nonsense. They want booze and drugs and I'm not going to pay for it. If you want to really help these people don't give them a penny. Give them the phone numbers to the appropriate agencies.

I know a lady and her child who are in distress. Let me allow to describe the full scenario.

The lady, about 44 yrs of age is a bit mentally disbalanced from 1984. She got married in 2000 and the same year her husband died in an accident. The following year she got a male child. Their family comprises of the lady, her 5yrs old child and the lady's old mother who is around 82 yrs of age.

The lady's son is quite normal. Now the biggest problem is that there is no one to take care of the lady and espicialy her son.

As long as the lady's mother is alive the family will survive. But now as she has become too old it has become an worry for us.I would like to add that the lady and her son knows to speak Bengali only.

Is it possible to help them by sending them in a home where they will get care and affection? If yes let me know the formalities. And if possible can you send me some conacts to help them out.

Looking for your advice

I asked about winning the lottery, but here is a new one. Let's say you had mounting bills and in dire financial need--would you have to be paid a reward for getting a killer off the street? Not me, not even if I were starving to death. That is "blood" money and someone had to die for it. I would not feel good about myself, but that is my opinion. Everyone feels differently about different things. What would you do?
