Absolutely. On a recent trip to downtown Chicago I saw so many more homeless people than usual. There were women with children and men with dogs and it was so sad to see. The sad looks in the children's eyes and the dogs all looked so scruffy and sad. With the economy so bad it is just getting worse and worse. I feel that a few dollars here and there will not effect me but may mean a meal for someone, man, women, child or animal. If they are scamming me, then they sure do a good job of looking homeless. |
