Officially Homeless
Okay, I am now also using my phone. So the writing won't be as strong. I really do like your last paragraph. Very well put.
I am not saying It's my job to help, I just want to help. As for helping the addicted over the homeless. Lots of the homeless are addicted. So I will be helping them. What is so wrong with helping them? The addicted youth in the system already have help. The homeless more than likely don't. I don't understand why it's such a big deal that I want to try and get kids off of the street. It would be a huge benefit if you could. Crime would go down some too. I know, you can't help those that font want, or won't except it. But some of them want help and no one wants to give it. I know that everyone is going to butt heads over this whole topic, maybe it would be best if I just keep my ideas to myself and share with those that care, which in this case maybe no one. Shame on me for offering to help. Lol
I don;t have a problem with you wanting to help out, I think its very noble of you to want to do and being that your a single guy with no family man responsibilities you are prime for being able to do such a thing.
I respect the fact that you want to do the things you say you do and help out.
I am not trying to say its a stupid idea or anything, I was just trying to throw different options out there that may be a little wiser and that could still accomplish essentially the same goals but with out such a drastic change to your own life .....and yes I think to many people here on fabo have have "been there , done that" it would be offensive....because its hard to believe that someone would honestly want to voluntarily want to put them selfs into a situation that so many people faught so hard to get out of........and for the people who actually live life on a day to day basis as homeless may have been offended aswell and even though to you it felt like you would be doing it with the best of intentions.....it may really piss off someone on the street......and someone who could possibly be high on ****** and have a few 40 .oz in there system and a knife or a gun or something in the pocket is not necessarily the first guy you want pissed off at you lol .
So I don't think any of the things people have said here were specifically said to make you sound like your stupid or like its nothing but a waste of time or anything like that....I think I aswell as other thought about you and your safety and all figure there are many different ways for you to accomplish the same goals but by altering your plan on attack.
anyhow, I hope nothing I said makes you have any hard feelings towards me or anything, I wish you luck at the new position at work and I hope you can still find a way to help out........I think your hearts in the right place and its not that I Don't care about what your fighting for.....its just that I can not do something as drastic as you when it comes to elping out....as I have a family of my own to take care of and to ME that is MY number one priority.....not to mention, we are not the best off either.
the best i can do is drop change in buckets at christmas time, maybe drop change in donation jars at grocery stores, open doors for folks and so on....... May not be the biggest most noticed deeds in town.....but like I said in my last post, every deed no matter how big or how small will make a difference somewhere along the line.
