I'll offer, but I usually won't give if they ask. I keep coats in my trunk to give to people in need. I had one lady turn down a coat but ask for a bag of twizzlers she spotted on my backseat. Then her friend asked for the other bag. I told them beezies to share! HA!...
But a lot of homeless people are just like you & me. When they get out in the world, their survival instinct kicks in and some turn out ok and others break under the pressure. I spend my Christmas morning every year at a homeless encampment having an early Christmas dinner with whoever would like to partake. I've met a lot of really awesome people and heard some amazingly heartbeaking stories, but I always walk away feeling inspired and empowered. I have gotten scared or creeper out by a few of them tho, but that's not what this is abt.
