I don’t care if they use the money to buy booze or cigarettes. Not everybody is a scam artist. I have had hard times once and the smallest gesture of kindness gave me hope. I hope I never get jaded.
I commend you.
I am a lifelong conservative, have served in the church, and am well aware of the depravity of mankind. I know that many created their own misery, and many use any alms to further it.
But many is not all.
I have never been drunk, much less drugged, but having spent much of my life serving the needs of others, and having had past debilitating health conditions, I am not wealthy, and have been nearly destitute at times.
I remember that when I see such persons, and sometimes act on the simple knowledge, There, but for the grace of God...
Yes I agree

The Salvation Army can try the heavier lifting
