Reply #12: It's so sad and some advice [View All]

[The empressof all]

It is so sad to see folks out in the street-I feel particularly affected by those who are drug and alcohol addicted or the many mentally ill who are unable/or unwilling to get the help they need due to their illness.

I do however feel strongly that giving those people on the road with the signs does nothing to help the problem. There are many good agencies and shelters who could use your few bucks to help these individuals. Contact your local community mental health center, shelter or feeding center and send them a check. They do not receive adequate funding to do the work that needs to be done.
