Yes. Directly with my family and indirectly with government withholding from my salary and the alms I give to the church. Thank you for reminding me. God forgive me I have not prayed for them yet.

It is really hard to help sometimes, because we have all become harden to it. We think that all these people are lazy, or they are going to use the money for booze or drugs. Sometimes you just take the chance and pray that it will be of help. Yes we have helped a few people. It isn't easy out in the world, and wouldn't be that hard with a string of bad luck for any of us to end up homeless.

The homeless are not really "homeless". They chose to live that way. I mean no taxes, car payment, or have to work. I really don't feel sorry for them. They ask people for money..in which many of them give them money, and all they have to do is sleep in uncomfortable places. They smoke cigs all the time...they can't be that poor. Don't feel sorry. I live in Chicago and walk to work everyday..don't feel sorry at all.

Yep. I've given out money a few times, and even some food once.

Yes.
I tried one time a while ago. They ask for money b/c they were hungry so we went and brought them something across the lundrymat and when I came back with food they ran away.
I knew it...we brought something we would want and eat it for lunch.

Only the temporary help of giving them some money.

Sometimes I give them some spare change (but only certain ones)

If they ask I will usually give spare change.

Yes and it backfired on me. I learned a lot and leave them alone now.
