| I was so upset!! My husband and I went to the mall over the weekend to get some Christmas shopping done, well when we left the mall we pulled up to the stop sign and there was a lady standing there with her son, keep it mind it was 25 degrees saturday. She was holding a sign that said "Please help, Homeless I have an 8 year old son and i am 7 months pregnant!" I just burst into tears and cried all the way home. I couldnt believe it I guess I just dont realize how good I actually have it, there I was at the mall spending all that money on my brothers and sisters for Christmas when they all have so many things that they have to clean out there rooms everytime that Christmas comes around just so they have room for things! I did not have any money on me bc it was all in the bank and so I couldnt even give them anything. I cant quit thinking about this poor family and I wish that I could have helped them out. I just thought that maybe this would help some people appreciate what they have and be thankful that you have a warm bed to sleep in everynight right next to our little furkids!

| That is really horrible! Things like this do put your life into perspective. I am so very thankful for all that I have and just wish that everyone else could be as fortunate.

Donating YT 14K Club Member | You are a good person. I know that this may come across as being ugly and isn't true in every case but please be careful about what you feel for some people out there. There are so many scam artists out there that live off of the sympathy of others. Some of those people probably make more than I do in a year's time doing just that...standing on a street corner with all of their children wanting handouts from people driving by. There are many places that those people can get help, food, shelter. What they don't get from those places is cash to go blow on whatever...that's why they will stand on a street corner. The best thing you can do for those people is to go to McDonalds or some other fast food place and purchase a meal and bring it back to those people. Some MAY thank you and others may just scowl at you. Been there, done that!

| There is a guy that works the busy corners where I used to live... for the last 10 years. He wears old clothes and wild scraggly hair but stands there everyweekend at the major intersections of 2 popular areas. he works one some days and the other the other days. Christmas time he stands there most everydaywaiting for theshoppers with money. He is at leats 50 pounds overweight and if you WATCH... when he is done he hops in a car WAY BETTER then I willl ever own. It used to be a fancy SUV last time i lived there but don't know what he drives now...probably a mercedes. PLATINUM YORKIES... I bet you know him. He is the guy that stands at the Double T intersection and also the ....Glen Burnie mall intersection
