When I was cop, I used to bring food to people living in shelters. It’s amazing what type of a world we live in. The so called Social Workers could care less. I knew a few other who used to do the same thing.
I just gave the dozen homemade tamales that I bought for lunch to a mom and kid who were panhandling.
I have similar stories as a soldier oversees. Some truly need help but some will NEVER help themselves to overcome their predicament in life nor can properly raise children.
