Unfortunately, all too many people are homeless for reasons that IMHO are nothing if not cruel. I have lost many hours of sleep wondering who will take care of my child when my wife and I are no longer walking this planet because she will never be able to take care of herself.
well there it is for all to hopefully understand. I applaud you.
It's a popular sport and oh so easy to blame the victim. Of course there are a number of "those who won't" that we all have been supporting and should not. But the homeless and others "on the dole" are made up of a vast majority of those who can not. During a financial crisis some years ago, State Hospital aid (at least here in MA) was severed from budgets and thousands of those who sadly can not were released to the streets.
If only most of them had relatives like you, the hit on society would have been lessened, but that is not reality. One would hope that at this point in time, we would have evolved to the point where someone like you would be able to get a good night's sleep every night.
