Homeless people

So I was on Facebook and I came across a video of people's family members dressing up as homeless people and having their cousins, wife, husband, sisters, brothers etc. walk by them with out even noticing there is a human being there.  It is so sad that we take so many things for granted like throwing away food, leaving the lights on in other rooms,spending money on things we don't need but we want.
So many of these homeless people probably are there for ridiculous reasons like they had a drinking problem.
But now they are just suffering. There was one time I went on a field trip with school and we were told to bring money for lunch so I brought a $10 bill (I was like  8 so that was a lot of money) and I saw a homeless lady just sitting there so I gave her my money. So what... I went Hungry for one meal, they can't even afford a hamburger with some fries from McDonalds for one day. Later on I got in trouble for giving  her my money by one of the teachers, How selfish! I hope you guys get the chance to check out this inspirational video.

               Thank you, Jean-Paul Dube

  1. It's nice to remind myself of this side of homelessness. I work in the homeless department at the Council and I've been let down by so many customers who I've worked really hard to help I've become cynical and forget why I'm there to help at all. I think people look for the negative in things to avoid dealing with the issues.
