So sad to see this happening.
One wonders what keeps these people going. Obviously not enough money to feed herself. Though the only way to know her story is to get to know her life story and what got her to that stage.
Government services seems to be not meeting her needs.
Yes, the other side of the story is that she could be wasting her money on booze and other stuff.
I periodically give to homeless people though I can not give to everyone that I come across.
What would you do if you became homeless. Would you sit outside a supermarket and ask passersby for help?
When I was homeless I never begged. I kept my dignity. I used the services available to have one meal a day and went far away from the crowd.
I slept in a tent in the bush where there were no other people and there was no chance of being disturbed or harassed.
Would I do that today? Lose my job, become homeless?
Having thought about it for a long time I think I would clock out. Go out into the bush, never to be seen again.
