They are missing teeth, they are thin, they are wearing dirt all over them and the worst part of it....the look of a deep sadness in their eyes....that's the one thing that gets me the most. They are as human as you and I....they do not deserve to be judged. I feel like it is my duty (and honor) as another human being to help them. We can't look at them as 'only' the homeless....they are us, just in a different outer appearance.

Tammy, I couldn't agree more. There are so many people right now who are only one paycheck away from the street. If I see someone that needs help and I decide to help I don't care about anything else. They could be sitting in a Mercedes the next time I see them and I still will not question my helping them - once I give something it's done and I refuse to have any regrets.
