I'm a homelss man who is very down and out. I often wonder why most, (not all) ignore or abuse the homeless. Why is this?
I struggle everyday for food and shelter. I'm not a drug user or drinker, just suffer from severe depression...and being homeless just adds to my depression. I search everyday for work...i'm not lazy...and yet when some sense that i'm homeless....they turn there backs. I was also nearly killed while trying to rest at night...three young kids nearly killed me, as they thought it would be fun to hurt me. Why? Why does this happen? Why does God allow some to suffer so much?
And for those of you who will say "homeless and on a computer"...i'm at a library...the only place i can get peace during the day...and also use the computer and read the news papers...in hopes of finding work.
Please...if you ever have the chance to help someone who is homeless and hungry...do it...you have no idea...how much you can lift someone from the lowest place on earth....BEING HOMELESS

There are so many options available for you that you choose not to accept. The missions, State and local recovery programs, church and private organizations that would be happy to accept and help you.
Your choice to use drugs or alcohol and not accept help is the primary reason that I, and many like me, choose to ignore you.
Don't blame God or anyone else. Get off your a$$ and go get help. Deal with your problems like I have to deal with mine. Get a job, pay bills, take care of the kids, bust your hump just to get by like we do!
There is NO reason for you to be there on the street.

Humans are afriad of what they don't know. so, to make them feel better they come up with all kinds of excuses why they don't want to see the homeless folks. It's sad. It makes me mad sometimes. Are you staying in a shelter for the homeless,? many of the folks who help out there could help you find free medical care, if not them they may know some else who can. Look for a program for the homeless that involes free medical attention. I think if you could get you depression under control you'll be able to remove you from this life. I was homelss too. I knew that I did not want to live like this. I have deperssion, everyday I take my medication, and every day I'm full of Graditude for the life I have now. As far as being lazy, I have known way to many folks that live on the streets, Most of the time they have mental health issuse or addictions. There maybe a couple that really like living that life. God gave us the gift of free will. He didn't cause your depression, and he didn't turn away while you where being hurt by these young men. God wants us to have an aboundt life, but we have to be willing to make the changes that are needed in our lives . I'm sorry that you have been hurt by these losers. If your really tired of this life, reach out to someone, anyone that you think could help you. Don't let pride keep you in a place where you can't be safe. Many prayers for you. Peace

You may not see me, but that doesn't mean I don't think about people like you or want to help. I vote for candidates who want to help the less fortunate and I would accept tax increases to go toward programs that help people less fortunate than me. I also give money to programs through my church. Just know that there are ways people try to help without being out on the streets every day.

People are crude out of ignorance. I don't know where you live, or how well you know your community but most cities have county buildings with specialist to help you on your feet. Try to get help from those places, you'll find they will know how to accomidate you much better than you trying to do it alone. If you're religious try attending a local church regularly, become apart of their church family and I can garuntee they will reach out to you. Good Luck, and God Bless

I live in a small town (2700 in population), where homelessness is not an issue. If there are homeless in this town, they do a good job of hiding it.
