If you really want to help someone give out underwear and socks and hotel size hygiene products. A fundraiser for the Coalition is a great idea. The Coalition for the Homeless does great work. They provide a mailing address, assist clients with food stamps, Medicaid, and shelter placement. Once you get food stamps one can acquire a lifeline phone or 'Ohamaphone' as they arw called. They provide referrals for clothing and haircuts as well. Its a great organization that advocates for improved shelters. Support them if you can.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-88076508252486545712015-09-19T08:16:42.899-04:002015-09-19T08:16:42.899-04:00I have noticed this too - children are much more s...I have noticed this too - children are much more sensitive to the unfairness and scariness of homelessness - asking many questions about it. They have not yet had to make the moral compromises necessary to live in the world - and this make them clear eyed.

I see good things for this child's future. It's not easy teaching real empathy/compassion for others these days: Just look around...we're drowning in narcissism and contempt.

Maybe when they grow up they will do a better job of solving this problem than we have.
